RHD powerfold bullets conversion into LHD

boogiedrummer · 17th December 2018, 09:05

Hello guys,
I have "wisely" bought RHD powerfold, even though I live in The Czech Republic on ebay.

I have had them for a couple of years and haven´been able to do something about it. I can either sell them or convert them. I prefer the second option, but I don´t know how. Can you please advise me what to do to do the conversion?

thank you very much
Martin

I didnt think there was any difference between RHD and LHD powerfolds? Surely there wouldn'tbe be a difference?

Hi Rick,

there is a difference obviously in the angle. As a driver on different side of the car, you need a different angle, which I didn´t realize when buying the powerfold :-(

Nice and shiny powerfolds, but packed in the box for a couple of years :-(

I don't think they can be converted. I think the castings are different.

I tried to get some mirrors for a RHD Citroen herein France but found it was not possible due to the different design between LHD and RHD mirrors.

It's a very easy conversion to do, all you need is a pair of LHD stanchions from a set of non powerfold bullet mirrors and swap them over literally takes a few minutes.
Take off the plastic cover underneath the stanchion, undo the four torx screws guide the wiring out of the old one then reverse the process into the replacement stanchion

I had a new set of LHD ones for the Middle Eastern market and converted them. Had to change the mirror glasses over too.
