I see, said the blind man...Seems like a lot of hassle to me for something so simple.
I have 3 cars, 2 on one side, one on the other and have maybe once switched on the wipers instead of indicating.
Anyway, not taking the pi55, just curious.

You MIGHT be able to do it by fitting the stalks from a UK car, then swopping over the multi-pin plugs so that the correct stalk operates the correct equipment, so to speak.
I just happen to have a set of UK stalks here at the mo, off a wagon, so WITh tailgate wash-wipe, that I'm half way through fitting to my UK car.
I can have a look at wiring colours if you want?
My stalks came from GradeA Subaru, as part of a deal to fit new rear screen, wiper motor, washer bottle etc.

The correct side for a right-hand drive car indicator stalk is the right hand side. This is so that the indicators and gear stick are in different hands.
I can see your problem with you other cars but it's those that you should be changing ;-)
1970's bean counters are responsible for RHD cars being sold in GB with LHD components like stalks and windscreen wipers. It's bad design and IMO dangerous to fit LH stalk switches.
The last time I drove a euro box I grabbed the indicator instead of the gear stick and nearly snapped it off ! I refuse to drive them now.
Looks like my next car will be an import just to get a proper RHD set-up.
