Ok my Bongonauts 🙂 I need your knowledge !!!!!!!!
. I want to register my Bongo in Poland .it is legal to register with the driving wheel on the RHS but I am looking into the alternative of swapping the driving wheel to LHD .
And just wonder do you know by any chance will the steering wheel and the dashboard ( after some modifications) will fit from Mazda 626
There is at least one Bongo in Philippines with the wheel on the left hand side - so it is possible - but how 😲

Certainly a very rare Bongo. 8)

Not sure how you would go about converting to lhd, but someone more techie than me might have some ideas.

And welcome to the Forum. :D

I'm not sure this would be practical, but does anyone else have any ideas? 8)

I think there would be a lot more involved than visible at first sight. All the wiring looms would need changing round as they wouldn't reach the right locations. There are other items like ABS, coolant bottle etc. that might get in the way of trying to get the steering column down the left hand side.
