Hi
Stock shifters are the same right or left, custom shifters often have a button so that's why they would be drive side specific, good steering boxes can be hard to find, the LHD master could still be used by having some custom steel pipes made up. The wiring still runs down the left on RHD bugs, you would just need to extend some wires over to the steering column. I could probably find a pedal cluster for you in my stash, but steering boxes are hard to find. Steve

steering
The steering box and related items pitman arm etc......
will be one of the biggest hurdles. we have many RHD Type 1's here both standard and supers and it is very hard to find the steering parts. Most of the junked bugs I have found are missing the steering components. the other big one is the pedal cluster as the throttle shaft passes all the way through the tunnel and the cable is connected to an arm on the left side of the tunnel. Just curious but why would you want a RHD? It makes drive up windows, toll booths etc a real PIA I only know this because I have had a few LHD cars here and without power windows it can be interesting at least with a Bug you can reach over and roll the window down but try that with 74 Pontiac or 78 T-Bird
