There must be a reason for that.
Why would you adapt a jap box if a local box bolted up??

What I wont do, is give it a big rev, then dump the clutch.
We all know what the result would be, and there is no fun in that.

Great concept Craig, I haven't seen those before.

I just have to do some homework though, I'm sure I should be able to
just change or modify, the clutch fork to work with a bolt on old holden slave cylinder.

Cheers

on ebay the other week i saw an early hydraulic clutch pedal modified to suit a cable so it can be done that way aswell but then you have some late looking bit in the engine bay which may not suit you
