Just like the topic says I'd like to know how rare right drive Silverstreak Alternator is? I noticed it mentioned that it was rare in a few post. Turns out mine is the right hand drive version. So I'm considering buying a MIB Siverstreak so I can put my right drive version up MIB. Is it worth spending the $50 for a replacement to keep him MIB?
This is turning into a serious addiction!

All BT's that have right drive configurations in the real world are right drive. Since none of the American cars come in right drive configurations, all the American BT's are still left drive.

What makes Silverstreak unusual is that a right-hand drive version was made by Hasbro for the US. Where appropriate, the Binaltech figures are supposed to have right-hand drives; that Laserwave is not a variant or anything rare.
