The column & dash pad shipping is the killer cost as they are long parts.

One of our Aussie friends may swap parts with you if you pay the shipping.

* Dash pad
* Dash facia (I think you can use LHD cluster gauge in RHD dash facia)
* RHD body wiring harness
* Pedal box
* Steering column/gearbox unit (t/s switch can be rotated 180 degrees as in RHD, or left in LHD position)
* cross rod (drag link)
* idler arm

If you want the kph speedometer, you can swap it, but it's a pain to translate while driving.

Oh, you will also need
* RHD accelerator pedal, and its pivot assembly. These bolt to the floor unlike the more modern LHD suspended pedal
* the longer RHD throttle cable (I paid $15 USD shipped from the UK)
* Longer RHD choke cable (if you have a 1971 1200 with manual choke)
* Modify the RHD pedals to fit the LHD hydraulic clutch (or convert to RHD tranmission (cut out the plug, and fit a RHD release arm and clutch cable)

i have one LHD and one RHD Datsun 1200, so can show photos of any parts on request

I meant that an Aussie may want your LHD bits to fit to their 1200 just to be different. Somebody did that once.

There are no kits or instructions, as this is rarely done.

B310 has more parts, so more difficult.

But B310 has a separate steering column and steering gearbox, so both will fit into smaller shipping boxes.
