it's in the title,
did TVR produce LHD 1600M models.
If so what is the difference ? steering rack, move heating to other side, move pedals, reverse Dashboard, weld fitting on chassis for steering.
Many questions but it could be interresting

I have LHD 3000m and from what I can tel its all that you have mentioned plus wipers bellhousing unless you want to run the clutch cable all the way round the engine, the heater box is different so cant just be swapped over. Wiring will need altering the glove box back wont swap to the other side so you would need to source one of those. Pretty sure there is a difference in the pedal box as the steering column will need to bolt to the opposite side of it. Then there is all the mouting holes that will cutting out of one side and re glassing on the other. There is probably a lot more but thats all I can think of at the moment. .

Hi

I swapped my M from RHD to LHD.

Pedal box and steering column can just be moved. For the clutch, add a Landrover hydraulic master and a hydraulic slave (is plug and play).

Heater blower can be mirrored to fit, heater matrix can be modified (cut the tube and mess with some fiberglass)

Steering rack have to be LHD.

If you have inner wheel mudguards (or whatever they are called) do they need a small modification to leave space for the brake master in the left side. Same goes for battery in the right side, but if you fit a odessey battery instead can it clear the mudguard without modification.

All in all a quite simple operation, few parts needed and with a bit of skill's a fine winter DIY project
