Success !!
after pulling the steering wheel off 4 times I think ive got the cruise conversion done,
the main issue i had was misalignment of steering wheel, I ended up rooting my clockspring -i had to buy a second hand one, cost me $55
the car is ready for the conversion because cruise was an option across all models - so all the mounting points / plugs / etc are all in place
It probably helps that the ebay seller i got the kit off sent all the parts including screws, Its the same seller listed below 'im not george' postage was quick too
cost including post of kit -$172
the torx bits were $9 T50 repco
kit 5 sided security bits (t30 is one i needed) $14 bursons
I plan to post some pictures of the parts and conversion in the future
barring stuff ups this conversion can be done easily by a couple of blokes in an hour or two
One piece of advice- start with the steering wheel strait(dont need to put it on lock), note the position of the clock spring - wires should be at the top should not need to fiddle with clocksping if you put it back as it was -
Now i just have to learn how to cruise with the cruise......
p.s. My local wrecker was going to sell me a kit but wasn't sure if it was a do-able conversion - then he apparently rang Ford workshop who told him that computer needed to be reprogrammed which is a load of bulls#it
