Cruise control

Another option for the pedal switches is to use the brake light feed from the existing switch via a relay then for the clutch pedal fit a brake light switch from a VW Beetle (early type) or the VW type 2 camper van, these are hydraulic pressure switches and cost under £5 new on-line, you might need a couple of addaptors to match the threads but they are easy to source - Mike

Digging up an old thread here, but anyway...

I never did manage to fit a Volvo cruise control system to my '89 GLT, but still fancy having cruise. The complexity put me off. I have since stumbled across Rostra who make a fully electronic universal fit system that doesn't rely on the car's vacuum, it has it's own servo motor.

From reading the installation manual it looks to me as though

• You don't need to fit a second throttle pulley
• It will work with the Volvo cruise control switch on the stalk
• The speed sensor should work from the standard electronic speedo signal
• The pedal switches don't appear to be LHD only (need to read more carefully to be sure).
• Instead of a gearbox mounted neutral switch it has a neat tachometer feed that knocks the system out on over-rev

Has anyone fitted one of these or seen one in action?

Kind regards
