Pretty close.. but the kit in this car was built is the way I would do it ... it had a hyd slauve mounted on a 1/2 piece of aluminum plate "bolt on piece" and it ran the factory clutch fork..so all the clutch stuff was stock GM pieces simple but solid. I will take better pics the next time I see the car..it was a realy well built car.
