Thanks for the guide! What a b***h of a job getting the upper screw out on RHD as steering column in way! Finally went and bought hex key set - anyone having fun trying to get at the screw should use one of these, it fits in fairly easily. The T20 one is only about 4 inches long which is perfect.

I got round to this job on the weekend. Took nearly two hours including a trip to the hardware store (15 min drive each way) mid way through.
I stupidly started with the LHD DIY a few weeks ago and gave up out of frustration after finding out that the FSR is on the opposite side for RHD vehicles. Followed the instructions in here and managed to complete the job properly. The screw that everyone talks about is a b!tch to remove. I've attached a pic that I could get by shoving my phone into the small gap. It was done up tightly so I couldn't get enough leverage from the allen key to move it. In the end, I used a torx t-20 mounted on a narrow extension, attached to a bendy elbow with a second extension and then to my socket wrench. Happy to rebuild the tool if you guys want to see pictures of it. When putting it back, I only attached the b!tch piece with the easy access screw and left the other undone. I figured that with one screw and the slide mount that it was more than stable enough.

I've just followed these instructions and had the job done within an hour, credit to the pictures ! Was expecting a nightmare though wasn't as bad as I first thought. Hardest part was sliding the FSR clip so I could release it, like most I haven't replaced the top screw on the stepper motor
