Would be interested to see how time consuming/intensive this swap would be. Hope we get some more updates!

The FRS ducts/flappers are definitely mechanical, so in the very best scenario you would need a motor to replace the what is mechanically actuated. I would bet the ducts/flappers are different though.

No. I didn't install it lol. Someone with the RHD did the swap. I'm trying to get more details on the swap.

Keep us posted. Most of us FRS owners are curious about this. We appreciate the work/research.
