Did I read somewhere that it is possible to fit a cruise control to a non fbw classic? Might have been on the dark side site....

Im sure treeboa has done it somehow

Its possible but not the one that the guys bought for new shape.

I believe I could get a new shape one to work, just have to fit a speed sensor to the gearbox. But honestly do not have the time at the moment to gt anywhere near trying it.

You can if you want the details of the company I ordered the new shape ones through you can email them there is a kit but the fitting is alot more involved

I'll have anything you got .... It's about 4th or 5th down the line on my list of mods but I want to do the planning for it now. Prob by the end of the year i'll be wanting it fitted.

Yes looked at the kit but it was over complicated, the one they make for the new shape could fit the FBW classics, but would need a spedd pulse sensor fitted to the gearbox and also the accellerator loom would need changing
as new shapes is 6 wire socket and Classics are 8 wire. Asked the manufacturers if they could produce one for the classics but they weren't interested due to lack of demand as the vehicles are no longer being produced.

Hhhmm poop. Thanks anyway.

mines the poor mans version, basically its a locking choke cable mounted where the hand throttle used to fit ( stopped that about 02) and a solderless nipple into the receiver on the pedal

Brian, there are only two wires to connect to the pedal, that isn't hard, and the speed sensor is available off the shelf from Sailes Sensors.
Its just the having the time to try it out for me..

IF you can get it working I'll be interested.

Mike, could you explain a little further?

jimmy the saints got one for the new shape to sell Lez if you want one for when you have got time its the only one available im not ordering anymore

Nick, I'd like to but i won't be getting anywhere near it this side of autumn the way things are going so I am going to sit it out, I've been so close to buying it about 10 times and then realised it will just sit there and never get used.

But there are 5 wires that go from the Accellerator pedal to the cruise ecu, plus one wire to earth.Brake pedal is easy with just 2 wires.

I have this one in mine(page in Swedish originally):

Two are signal voltages, two are their grounds, the other is most likely used as a power feed for the ECU from the pedal feed. Brake switch isn't really an issue as there is only a switched live to deal with, the other wire on the pedal could well be the kick-down switch.

right hand lower edge of the dash is a blank, bout fag lighter size, thats were the old hand controls used to fit, obviously cheaper to make a blank than a new moulding, so you purchase a locking type choke cable
Werbung: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CHOKE-CABLE-TW...ec#ht_500wt_716
now you may have to shorten the outer, this you bolt in though the hole were the blank used to be, you may have to get a couple of washers depending if the holes too big, you route the cable through the bottom of the dash untill it meets the throttle pedal, at this point you wants the outer to be just a bit longer than you need, now i made a top hat to fit the outer and the hole on the bracket in front of the pedal, now looking at the pedal theres another hole you will see with a slot in it, this is were the solderless nipple fits
Werbung: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Solderless-Scr...95#ht_500wt_716
you pass the inner cable through the nipple, , work out how much you need, cut off the excess, fit and adjust so theres a bit of free play

to use it or the way i do is get to my required speed, reach down, pull the knob to get the slack out of the cable then twist it into lock

just remember unlike a real cruise control operating the brakes or the clutch wont disengage it

thats the one that comfort auto (who i bought the newshape ones from) sell and said will fit the classic but it is quite complicated to fit did you fit yours danne

So basically you've retro fitted hand throttle? I've got a hand throttle on mine as it is a 2002. Just looking for more.

yes thats all i have done, you have a better version just use that pro temp untill a classic comes available, i knoiw they are out there because a couple of lads on the oc had them on from new

No it was on the truck when i got it but it was broken so i have gone through the entire system, dismantling the electric motor, replaced the ecu and checked all contacts and i don't think it will be that hard to fit one but dam boring because you have to be up side down under the steering wheel when you do the electrics.

A universal Vacuum / Solenoid cruise could be easily fitted and connected as Mike has via the pedal, still need the speed sensor though.
