I would say so but I'm gonna try it on the car first before I give a proper verdict.
Gotta see how much work it will take to fit it into the bulkhead and go from there.
I will take some pics and let you know how I get on.
Plus I've Gotta send mark his as well

easiest way james is to drill from the inside and just file the original hole round to fit the supplied grommet , then the rest is easy

pleased to report the clutch kit fits nice!
still gotta file the hole round as the pedal doesnt travel all the way at the mo and sangs on the bulkhead but once the hole is filed round like you say it should be easy.
only hole you have to drill is about 2 inches left (on the inside) of the hole in the bulkhead so you can bolt the item in.
see below the three holes, where you need to drill is where the foam stuff is on the left roughly where the vertical imprint is in the foam

More pictures and info would be good once you have finished fitting the kit, going to have a go at fitting mine in a few weeks.

Ok,
I think we need to start seeing some pictures of the kit in position.

This is a VERY long thread already, let's keep it on topic.

Exchange rate unavoidable but assuming we see picture and operating evidence on a car in the UK we could approach Heritage? Other trusted vendors? to investigate bulk purchase/consolidate postage???

Cheers Chris - it does look a neat solution, look forward to seeing it in a standard layout UK injected or carbed car.

I'm hoping to grab mine before the weekend but it's lookign unlikely unless I can get Pony Express.

I know th ebrake bar will need jiggling as the servo mount is different.

ok then

here we have the kit

all you have to do to make it fit is to drill one extra hole in the bulk head and enlarge the hole where there the cable used to fit so the new gromit fits and the lever cases through ok
