"The most significant investments in the conversion process included the creation of a bespoke right-hand drive steering box that meant the steering wheel and rack could be swapped without making any changes to engine, transmission or driveline positioning. Another huge part of the engineering program was the creation of a bespoke dashboard by Melbourne based supplier Socobell, which also supplies the dashboard for the Australian-made Toyota Camry and Aurion."
RAM launches at $140K
"The RAM variants are equipped with a newly-manufactured steering box fitted to the outboard side of the right-hand chassis rail, replacing a mirrored (yet otherwise identical) unit fitted to the inboard side of the left-hand rail. The relocation of the 37kg steering box allows the engine’s ancillaries to remain in situ, reducing the need for the re-engineering of parts that include the air-conditioning compressor and hydraulic pump. Only the intercooler and radiator pipes are altered. ASV believes that the more components it can keep in their original location, the better the finished product will be, especially to those charged with maintaining the vehicle in its later life."
