There have been two basic options mentioned in various posts.<br>
1) The Rostra unit which is more expensive and seems to require have <br>
more installation requirements (for example a sensor on the drive shaft <br>=

to register speed.) <br>

2) The recreation of the Audiovox cruise control, which requires a <br>
vacuum canister. Quite a bit cheaper than the Rostra. <br>

<br>
<br>
I have seen articles for installing both, but on carbs with a cable <br>
linkage but none with the throttle linkage like the early TRs.<br>
<br>
Has anyone installed on or the other on a TR250, TR4, etc that has the <br>
rods, levers, bell crank arrangement? If so, how did you make the <br>
connection?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
