True but why are the wipers and indicator stalks left handed?
You can't operate the indicators while changing gear and you can't see out

Obviously not designed for the home market!
I put my steering column back together with the decals on cowlings on the
wrong sides and then wondered why the column switches were operating the
wrong things!!
