Default Anyone using the Perrin rotated mount kit on a right hand drive ?

Help !

I have a bug eye sti and have started fitting a Perrin rotated mount kit to it and have run into endless issues - my car is a right hand drive and the brake master cylinder is in the way, the steering knuckle is in the way ! I could go on but I wont !! I am about to give up and send the Perrin stuff back ! I am really committed to the Rotated mount is there anyone in the UK / Aus that makes a similiar kit ? that fits and works on Right hand drive and not left hand drive cars ? or is this a case of build it all myself ?

Help ! Help ! Help !

its funny i was thinking about this today too, and remembered that people had mentionned that it would found x,y and z on a RHD car. i think the best bet would have been to buy the turbo from the US and then source the rest from here. Hindsights a wonderful thing though, it must be very frustrating.

Well I have the turbo and wastegate ! now just need the piping ! do you have a clue who in the uk makes the proper stuff ?

as to frustration you have no idea !! an uppipe is no fun try doing it 3 x times in an afternoon and each time you gotta grind a bit more off and swear some more ! andthen theres no way the wastegate will fit at all !! have no clue why not though as the gearbox is in the way as its the same gearbox around the world ! surely its not grind down time for the gearbox ! ! this means it wouldnt fit on a left hander either !
