Without the vin tag its pretty hard.

If it is an original bracket it is spot welded to the firewall NOT bolted.

The fact that the bellcrank lever bracket is spot welded on the fire wall would indicate a GTR is reasonable. However I have just recently seen an original S model car with the same bracket that has never been used.

So the fact that this bracket can exist on an S model indicated to me the lack of quality control, car order confusion and any number of other things occured on the production line in the 70's.

However the rule of thumb is the bracket only existed on LC GTR's.
