Wedgie, what's involved in fitting cruise control to a flapper engine?

Find all the cruise bits from an SD1 and lob them in

My installation...

Vacuum pump mounts on inboard side of pedal box housing adjacent to the heater cover.

Vacuuum servo mounts to convenient holes in throttle support bracket using a bespoke bracket to keep the servo as low as possible.

Control switch screws to the back of the indicator/dip/main switch using existing holes. Column shroud was modified by Rover to suit, I've seen the modded one on some Wedges already. You could soon drill/cut a standard one.

Pedal kill switches are a bit trickier: I had to take the pedal box out and weld two steel straps on to support the switches.

That just leaves the ECU (mount it wherever it'll fit!) and the speed sensor. This fits in place of the cable drive of the Wedge, leaving you with no speedo.
However some Rangies had a remote sensor driven by cable; I'm not sure if it was 'in series' with the speedo drive cable as I've seen on some 400SEs: this might be the fix, but they don't come up on Ebay very often

I could have saved myself some typing and simply said

Cheers Ian, you're a star. My life will be a bit easier seeing as it will be going into a SD1 anyway.
