    how to configure sparco front strut bar to not interfere with cruise control

    Hello guys,

    What have some of you done to maintain cruise control,

    i browsed the engine bay picture thread but no luck

    I love my hartge bar. No issues whatsoever.

    But, this is neat. It looks like it would've worked normally had the bar gone on first, and then the cruise line installed after. Though I could be wrong as I don't own a sparco bar.

        Three easy steps will fix the problem.

        Step 1: Find/make box

        Step 2: Put bar in box with packaging.

        Step 3: Send to me.

        End result: still have cruise control, will hardly notice not having bar and will make Danny (me) happy.

            In mine i hammered the base with the lines a bit down and it worked and cleared the bar. I dont have cruise control though, but it indeed hit the throttle cable.

              swap in an S50...cruise works fine with that strut bar and S50 ;-)

              I bent that piece down when I was running an M20 with Sparco bar...had no issues

                        Fuck!, just get the cruise control bracket from an early model and swap'em.

                        FYI, cruise control is for Grandmas, I like to know I'm driving and not fall asleep on long drives.

                          did you bend the throttle and cruise control?

                            Yeah bend is what i meant when i said hammerded down. Just bend the whole bracket from the right side. if you stand by the driver side of the engine look at the bracket and bend it from its right side closer to you. If it doesnt work with pliers use a hammer and carefuly hammer it down.

                              It's shorter and won't block anything.
