Where did you mount your cruise control?

[LINUS]

there is alot of slack in the cable so i think it doesnt work because of it. should i just cut it so its a snug fit to the throttle or does it need some slack? im not sure how the cruise modual works.

I think I get what you are saying - the slack is taking all the travel that should be where your throttle would be in travel if there was no slack. Is that right?

How much slack is there?

I don't have my car in front of me either, but next trip to the warehouse I'll look at the cruise module & see if you can open it up, loosen some clamp on the cable & suck in the travel. If so I think I'd like to shorten my cable for routing. Mine doesn't run yet, so IDK.

I put my cruise unit down on the fender and under my cold air box.



I cut the hard end of the wire down and tapped it and threaded the old plastic adjuster thing back on.



excuse the dirtyness!

I don't have a problem mounting the cruise actuator, I didn't even move it during the swap (90 325i).
My problem is getting the cable to work, there has to be a better way than ghetto vacuum hose and collars. Do we know which cable will work nicely to set up cruise on my s50 e30?
The stock e30 cable doesn't slip into the rubber grommet at the bracket on the TB, and it's too long, if I modify it, I would worry about the cable catching, and sticking the throttle open. The cruise cable just sits idle while the main cable is pulled during normal driving.

Can the e36 cable be made to work?
Thanks
