Default Fitting cruise control (Auto)

Hey all.... I'm trying to help a mate with his heavy foot problem and our first line of business is fitting cruise control to his AU1 forte....

What parts do we need?

Steering wheel Buttons
Indicator stalk
Wiring
Cuise control motor...

anything else? Does anything need to be fitted to the brake pedal or should it all be fine?

Brake Pressure switch for the master cylinder.
while not 100% needed (you can jump the wires)
its a backup for if the brake light switch fails.

apart from that i think you've got everything listed.
i put this onto my mum's AU wagon a while ago and i can't recall anything else you'd need.

make sure you get the whole indicator stork assembly (both sides), its easier :P

I don't think you have a choice. It's a complete assembly as far as I'm aware.

I'm researching as I broke the indicator stalk off last Fri. Try using the indicator switch when it's snapped off near the base - FPITA!

Bayford want $245 (trade). See what FTG come back with.
