RHD center console on LHD car

Hey guys,
whats going on. i was wondering if anyone here has put a rhd center console and relocated the ebrake to the right side of the car while keeping the car LHD. When I get my 240, i am going to need to do this because as it is right now i would not be able to pull the ebrake during a drift without jamming the thing into my knee. Pix would also be awesome if you have some, I am trying to get an idea for how plausible this is to do and whether or not it is worth the effort.

thanks in advance

Yes, it can be done. Yes it has been done. Why would you want to? Notice how that ebrake handle pulls up and toward you in the driver seat? The JDM piece does the same thing, only it would pull up and toward your passenger side. Best thing you could probably do is modify your LHD handle to pull straight up or look into a hydraulic ebrake setup.

Lots of people move it, it's not that hard with the right parts and some sheetmetal.

You can also just remove it altogether and carry chocks under the seat. Primitive but way damn easier.
