A lot of people use kits from Dualbrakeus but those are sort of universal. Probably the best quality and most reliable though would be those purpose built for a particular model.
That is what I’m looking for Model’s that people are using with Conversion Kits on new cars…… Straring wheel and pedals….. I have used Ford Escapes for the last 8 years driving from the middle, but they are getting hard to find and I here bad stories with Factory RHD Jeeps so I would like to Convert a newer vehicle….

something you might check into , just a suggestion
most newer cars and light SUVs have cvt transmissions continuously variable transmission
they don't hold up as well as the older transmissions with gears
I would spend my money on one of the older model cars you can get from these Japanese dealers with low miles maybe 50k miles for about 15k run it for 4 years or so then buy another one before you start having problems sell that one for 5k to your sub rinse and repeat
I just got a brand new 2024 Subaru Forester wilderness, for personal use they said a new transmission is 11k just for the transmission if I have to replace it,
food for thought , do your own research
Mr post man out, lol
good luck

ps and your subs getting still a good car for 5k with say `100k on it now, not trying to say selling him or her junk lol
and if you are the sub and can afford one of the right hand drives for 15k better yet

That is cheap. A guy in my office had the dual brake kit installed for $1200. I bought the kit and installed it myself for $400 (let's call it $450 with shipping and the extra hardware I bought). And that is pedals only, plus you really should replace the cables every year.
$800 for a custom job? Great deal.

And honestly, if you know how to weld. I'd say less than $200 in: steel/bearings/pulleys/steering wheel/hardware.
And the dual brake is a good kit. Pair it with a simple pulley setup for the wheel. I've had a coworker screw a plate into the dash to mount a pulley and wheel.
