Default Retrofitting Cruise Control - 96 Sport
So, as the title suggests, I'm looking at retrofitting Cruise Control into my sport. Why? Because I do a total of 95km a day driving to work and back, and it'd be nice.

I'm assuming most of the factory wiring would be in place, and that I would just need a relay, cruise control servo, servo wire to throttle body, control switches and a clock spring to suit the cruise control.

Is there anything else that would be needed to install? Has anyone got cruise as a factory option that is local to eastern suburbs sydney so I can have a look at whether I need anything else?

Cheers in advance

Ok I have done this several times and what you need is the switch panel in the steering wheel, the clock spring, the servo with cable linkage and the vacuum lines that go from the servo all the way to the vacuum cannister as the models with cruise control use a larger vacuum line the models without cruise.
I have most of these parts here if you're interested.....

Different models require different switching styles...
