Fitting cruise control
« on: January 06, 2013, 11:16:59 am »
I will be fitting a cruise control stalk soon.

I don't need to change the steering controller as mine is already compattable with cruise control but will I have to remove it to fit the stalk?

Only reason I am asking is that I noticed that it needs a t8 torx bit for the controller which ill have to buy if it does need to come out

When I fitted my cruise, I ended up making that torx into a flat head screw with a junior hacksaw  :grin:
