Not a direct answer to your question,but, a friend just put a aftermarket
cruse control on his non MG car. It has a servo with a arm that you 
attach to your throttle linkage, and a wire that you attach to your coil.
It senses the RPM via the coil, and therefore moves the arm accordingly.
Of course you should be in the proper gear before hitting cruise. I was
impressed by the simplicity of the system (it's about the size of a coil)
and it seems to work very precisely. I'm sure he got it from Summit, I
can get the particulars if anyone is interested.
Magnets on a driveshaft seem to be a hassle waiting to happen.
