Similar situation for me, except I'm accustomed to an electric park brake. No big deal.I'm just happy mine came with the little cigarette tray, aka coin holder
Biggest problem with the hand brake is me being used to a foot "hand" brake and with it stuck over there I don't notice it and have to think about it.
Apart from that, its fine.
yes your countrymen are certainly well represented here complaining about trivia
Thanks heaps.
Hi again
I bought the car from an Adelaide dealer (Adrian Brien Ford) because of their proximity to EME. Then flew to Adelaide for delivery, drove the car 5km to EME and left it there for the work to be done. I flew back again 6 weeks later to drive it back to Port Hedland (Via Lakes Entrance, Victoria). 7000km by the time I arrived home and with the extra comfort of the new upholstery that distance was nothing for me. As for photo's, I'm having a little difficulty getting the colour to come out correct on photos. The leather inserts nearly all come out a much brighter red than they are in reality. I'll keep trying to get the exposure right to give a better representation of the colour and then I'll post the pics. In the meantime, Adrian Brien Ford did a great story with pics on their Facebook page, but the pics also show the wrong colour. The attached photo is the only one showing the true colour of the leather insert.@MustangNewbie hey Rick nice work. Did you freight the car to them? And....can we get some pics PLEASE
Can we have a photo of the RHD center console please?I bought the car from an Adelaide dealer (Adrian Brien Ford) because of their proximity to EME.

Hi Graham
I should also have mentioned how they do it. The console is cut at certain points to remove the section in question, then they rotate the cup holder section and place it to the left. The hand brake section is 3D printed and then all is glued in place and the leather covering is stretched over top. The end result looks just the same as factory, but correctly positioned for RHD.Hi Graham
My apologies, I should have thought to put one of those up. But because the post immediately after my first post included a photo of a converted console I overlooked adding mine to the post. I hope this is good enough to see properly. It truly has an OEM look.
Actually I've asked the guys at EME to look into the bonnet release for me. As far as I'm concerned if any car company wants to make a car for the RHD market then do it properly. Not the half arsed job that they did. As for the white tail lights, that's got nothing to do with RHD and therefore not relevant to my reasons for being in this discussion. That's simply a matter of like or dislike. HSV have at least tried to move the bonnet release in the Camaro but of course being done as a conversion after the fact makes it more expensive than if done during production. I have no brand loyalty to these cheaper made cars and therefore I literally wasn't going to buy a Mustang if I couldn't get the handbrake moved. I would have bought a Camaro instead and simply tolerated the stupid push button hand brake, which is the one thing I don't like in my other car (Audi A8).
