Is it easy to convert a used RHD Ultima to LHD for us that are on the RIGHT side of the road??

I don't know about the easy part, but yes it is possible. The chassis is symetrical, but will require you to take off the body and weld new pedal mounts, gear shifter mounts, etc...

With a bit of thought and plenty of time upside down in the footwell you could probably design and fabricate a frame for a pedalbox. This could then be bolted into position.
I don't think removing the body would be viable solution.
1. Why do you ask, have you found one?
2. Why bother, the side pods are that wide you are almost sitting in the middle anyway.

Yes I will convert My car for you if you want. Steering easy pedals easy just needs some panels removing on the side panels to modifie the gear linkage. Wont have to remove the body.

PS this is GTRCLIVE Speaking from Simons PC..
just to confuse you.....

How would you do the steering brackets without welding new ones into place? Maybe some kind of new brackets that could be bolted or clamped to the chassis tubes?If we're talking about a GTR or CanAM, then I wouldn't think it is all that difficult to remove the body. On my sports, though, I have fiberglassed the side pods and center section together. I'd have to start cutting fiberglass.
