Neat......Does anyone know how those right-hand drives actuate the brake booster/mc? I figured the booter must be on the other side but according to the underhood pic it isn't.

I was wondering the same thing. how DO they do it? The pedal pulls the actuator rod in the booster. Seems like there would be a lot of linkage, or another powered actuator to make it work???

It has to be mirrored, it is an automatic. You can see the accelerator on the left side(in the pic) of the brake.

Werd. The ebrake is also on the wrong side.

Also, note the location of the NSS assembly.

Ebrake looks in the right spot for a right hand drive to me (though... I'm no expert on how they should be)... here's a different one (iroczVinnie's 'vert)....

the hood lever is also on the driver side kick panel in the car you posted and the one kandied posted, should the hood lever be on the driver side as well?

When I initially read this, the pic 911rsq didn't load so I thought the comments were talking about the one in the link kandied posted. I wasn't untill the page reloaded a few times and I saw the pic... thus my 'stupid moment' post above. lol

On a differnt note as well.. the car in the link, am I the only one curious how the steering works more so than the brakes ? It appears the column would be going through the hvac/hearter core (or am I just not seeing something.. again?)

Right, but in the pic 911 posted it's on the wrong side, like someone just mirrored the image.



...I was also wondering about the steering thing. Where do they squeeze that in there!?!
