Default T56 Hydro Clutch For c3 Vettes

Is there any kits to use when converting to a t56 so you can retain the hydraulic clutch?

I thought Keisler had one because of this article:

But I cant find it on their website?

thanks Cris

I'm using the stock 1970 clutch pedal with the F-body master and slave and a Z06 clutch. You just need to make a bracket to bolt the clutch master cylinder to the firewall.

S&P has some good pictures in their catalog. The bracket will be a little different where it bolts to the brake master depending on whether you have power or manual brakes.

A buddy of mine from work put a hydro clutch setup in his 76 Camaro project, I built the bracket for him out of some scrap we had laying around the garage. Wasn't difficult at all, just located the spot on the firewall to put the hole, and welded up a few pieces of iron to hold the master at the right angle.

Another suggestion is to call Keisler and see what they recommend. They may sell a bracket that is not on their website. So are you just trying to do the T56 or are you doing an LS1 as well?
