Not Ranked
To resurrect this incredibly ancient thread, it occurred to me that I had forgotten about this question. The answer is that the RHD driver's side footbox in a leafspring 289 (which is all I can answer for) is very different from the LHD one. I was supplied with a LHD right side footbox and have had to do major surgery to fit the exhaust manifolds (cast iron original Y-type). On UK-drive side cars there is a pronounced step in the inner face of the footbox of around 2 1/2-3", with a small 45° fillet between vertical face and floor to help clear the intermediate header pipe. The support brackets on top of the footboxes are swapped over from the LHD version also.
Pics available if still necessary.
