    As many of you probably know from reading the 360/430 section, I am making speaker boxes and amplifier cradles for our cars. I have made a bunch of cradles but never one for a RHD car. Why would this be an issue you ask? I have to make a notch in the right hand side of the cradle to accomodate an air conditioning tube that runs along its path on the right hand side underneath the dash near the center. What I need to know is that, on a RHD car, does the air conditioning tube still run down the right hand side, or has it been moved to the left hand side? I am guessing it's still on the right hand side, but I need to be sure and the owner of the 430 who ordered the cradle cannot confirm this because he is currently out of the country.
    Any help from my European brothers would be appreciated.
    :)

    Hi Mike as the main RHD market in Europe is the UK, I've moved this to the UK section.

    In the absence of anybody chiming in, I called the dealership in London and got the service department on the line. Unfortunately, they informed me that the technicians had left 30 minutes ago (it was 5:30PM their time).

    200 views and no help (???)
    I posted the same thread this morning in the Australia section and had a 430 owner help me to find the answer within three hours - and I posted it at 5AM their time!

    Wow. Just wow.
