Help! Required for advice on converting my 912 from US to UK

Post by Richard »

I'm preparing my 912 US import for it's first UK MOT.

I am aware that the front headlights need to be adjusted. Also the requirement to change the rear lenses so that the indicators show yellow not red.

Can anyone advise if there are other requirements, for example parking light?

I'm Keen to get it on the road asap, so any help is very gratefully received.

Thanks.

Headlights need to be changed, not simply adjusted. US ones dip to the right, ours to the left...

Early cars don't necessarily need to have rear lights changed if showing red turn signals. My 1966 912 and 1965 Bug both passed MOTs with US-style all-red rear lights.

Check carefully state of windscreen washers and wipers – many SoCal imports have no working washers and seized wiper linkage!
