Well, the UK, or any country once covered under the rule of the Queen, has right hand drive cars and shifters, check UK Ebay, Australia, etc. Sound like a fun thing to search for!

You mean like this one?

It works for LHD and RHD.

I'm not sure about the EMPI knockoff, but original Hurst shifters are bent slightly differently for RHD and LHD versions. The trigger is also in a slightly different position.

Gene Berg and CSP both make very nice T-handle, push button RHD shifters. They cost a bit more, but will last a lifetime. Keep it for five years and drive often, and you're well under $0.01/shift :wink: .
