Cruise Control Cable

[jakeb]

I used one from a m42... I swapped cruise into my e30 318is and then when I put the m50 in the same cable worked. It is really close to the iX booster but it does work.

I would think the e36 would be best, it might even be the same part though.

The e36 cable can be connected to the m20 actuator. If you look at the actuator there are two little tabs, push those in and pull the cable out slowly, then you will see of the cable connects to the actuator. It is a little rubber "cable". Then just do the reverse to put the new cable on from the e36.

Wow really...that's handy to know! Any particular E36 cable?

I have the answers for where to mount the cruise control module and how to mount threaded end of the cable to make it work with the S50. My question is how do you mount the cable to the rubber grommet on the throttle body or the fixed point of the cable. My M20 cable has a square(ish) plastic grommet. I've looked at alot of M20s in the junkyard and they all have the same connection. Is there another M20 cable that will work or can the e36 cable be retro-fitted to the e30 cruise module. Thanks in advance for your input.
