You need a JDM steering rack.

Okay about the heater box, your feet would be where the box is and is postioned differently than JDM.

Dash support you need RHD. The mounting points are different.

Just take it off of a front clip. Also you interior harness would have to be modified to either shorten or make wires longer.

RHD conversion is not illegal. You will just get hassled more by the cops thats all.

But you may have to check your insurance. They may have you insure it like a kit car.
