Get a right hand drive handle and swap it out. It is very easy to do.

It may be, but I remember Gene telling me that after a trip down under he decided to start making some handles for RHD. There is no problem changing the handle to make it RHD. Title: Re: can a lhd berg shifter be coverted to rhd?? Post by: Neil Davies on March 26, 2010, 09:54:40 am I've got a LHD shifter and a RHD handle to go on it, and it looks like it should go together fine. What I do need is the reverse lockout button and the two set screws to hold the handle onto the shaft.
Isn't he angle of the shaft different? Ivan, I'm fairly sure that the shafts are the same - a friend went to Bergs several years ago and Clyde converted a shifter from LHD to RHD for them while they were there. It might be different for the different bends though! :)Title: Re: can a lhd berg shifter be coverted to rhd?? Post by: flatfire on March 26, 2010, 10:26:16 am I wonder how many rhd signature shifters Berg made?
I ordered 2 when the signature advert appeared. The good old days , seeing an advert in hot vws going back to the newsagent getting loads of change and phoning Gene Berg in California from a telephone box in Newport Wales. They even understood Scottish :) Title: Re: can a lhd berg shifter be coverted to rhd?? Post by: stretch on March 26, 2010, 11:16:47 am I wonder how many rhd signature shifters Berg made?
