The Chev Corvette Z06, manufactured only in left-hand drive in Bowling Green, Kentucky, undergoes a seamless conversion for right-hand drive Australian roads at Performax International.

All vehicles carry full Australian Design Rule compliance, with work performed in-house to certified ISO Quality Assurance standards, ensuring customers can have complete confidence in their investment.

The process of converting a new Z06 to road-ready right-hand drive takes four weeks.

Work such as moulding all-new fascia and door panels is done by Performax International and achieves original equipment-standards of fit and
finish, thanks to the use of CAD-CAM design and many years of experience.

The conversion process includes –

  • Stripping the interior
  • Re-manufacturing the dashboard
  • Modifying the firewall to accept the steering column
  • Re-locating the gear lever to the right-hand side of the tunnel
  • Swapping airbags left to right and vice-versa
  • Fitment of a new locally-manufactured steering box, which retains Corvette's Magna Steer system
  • Re-locating the pedal assembly and brake master cylinder
  • Swapping the electrical wiring harness from left to right
  • Moving air-conditioning ducts
  • Manufacture of new door panels, incorporating window switches and all electronics
  • Fitment of new Australian-approved seat belts, light lenses and other parts
  • Re-assembly of the interior

The result is a vehicle that retains its ex-factory look and feel. Performance and other dynamic aspects are unchanged.
