Exclamation Q: 34 Ford Coupe RHD rear window regulator

We have installed the wood-kit for the rear window in my RIGHT HAND DRIVE 34 South African 3 Window coupe.

Now the regulator and handle is positioned behind my Drivers seat since i have a RHD car. The 4-bolt holes in the wooden panel are obviously installed to fit the 4-bolt regulator in the correct location for LHD US models.

I find it difficult if not dangerous to operate the rear window since i have to twist backwards. For US Left Hand drive the position of the regulator is correct since you have easier access to operate the rear window and can reach across.

The wooden panel the present regulator was attached to, was a poorly made improvised one, with a 3 - bolt Model A regulator fitted in the correct position on my passenger ( US Drivers ) side. Therefore i know that Model A 3-bolt rear window regulators were available for LHD and RHD Model A‘s

Am i correct in assuming that foreign produced 33-34 Fords or exported models to RHD Countries were issued with a 4 -bolt rear window regulator for RHD models? Which would be the oposing side, in comparison to US issued Models?

The reproduction 4-bolt 33/34 Ford rear window regulators are only available for US LHD cars.
Since i cannot „flip“ it, i.o.w. move it to the opposing side, iam in need of a original 4 bolt regulator for a RHD.
If it exists!

Otherwise my option would be to install the old incorrect Model A Regulator in the correct position OR use the reproduction correct one in the wrong location behind the drivers position.

Any suggestions ?
Any leads or possible source for a correct 4 Bolt RHD 34 rear window regulator would be so much appreciated.
Regards Randolf
