Yes it is Jim.
The kit does have its faults however and it's a very good idea to replace all the kit bolts with high tensile equivalents. The other thing that needs to be done is to fit additional bracing or else the axle tries to pivot downwards which bends things that shouldn't really get bent.
These pictures show the two extra bracing tubes I fitted to the Hercules; - they came from an old chromed 10 speed rack I had lying around.
