You might need to use one from a 240 - much easier to find. I'm guessing some adaptation would be needed, not a bolt-in job, but I'm sure it could be made to work fairly easily.

A long time ago, I converted a 1974 164 from auto to manual. I don't have photos, but happy to discuss issues if you need to, as far as memory allows.

Which model are you working on now? I converted my current 164 from left to right-hand-drive, using a 144 pedal box. I expected it to be a straight bolt-in, but definitely not - it needed quite a bit of work.

The bulkhead on my '73 164 (LHD) was different to the '73 144 (RHD) donor car.

So, getting to the point, you MIGHT find that a RHD 144 pedal box is the same as a RHD 164 one. But it might not be !
