Yes you do...they run the other way around. I found a guy at Stoneleigh a few years ago who reconditions electric motors, and was very happy to swap my lhd one for a recon rhd motor. He was at Stoneleigh this year. I'm sure that SNG Barratts, CMC and others will be able to help you get the right motor.

Jaime,

You don't need to change the motor, just change the internal wiring to get it to run the opposite direction.

It's a series-wound motor so reversing the supply does not change the direction of rotation, unlike permanent magnet motors in modern cars. The magnetic field is provided by the field windings and these need to be reversed wrt the armature, this is done by swapping 2 wires internally.

I have a Word document showing how it's done; if you need it message me.
