#1 S1.5 question

Post by genneton4 » Tue Nov 10, 2020 9:04 am

Hi, don't know if this should be here or in S2 bit.
I am taking on a S1.5 FHC LHD to RHD conversion for covid therapy. Must be mad !
Just trying to clarify something.
Washer bottle is on the RHD bulkhead and cannot stop there when the new pedals go in. Where do you put it ? Do you swap it over with the radiator expansion tank from the LHD bulkhead side ?
Or .. can it go on the RHD engine frame rail above the fuel filter/chassis plate area ? I can only find pictures of this on 2+2 cars - or could it work for non 2+2 ?
Many thanks
Keith

I placed mine on the LHS
The bulkhead has captive nuts in the correct place.

Radiator expansion tank goes on the Right, again fixing points are present.

All a bit tight with throttle linkage, pipes and cables.
Series 1 FHC purchased 40 years ago. Courted my wife in it.
Series 1 2+2 when the kids were small now sold.
Series 1.5 OTS in opalescent maroon, Californian car. My retirement present.
