1960 vw kombi, cruise control

Hi all, just joined this awsome site

im looking at installing cruise in my kombi, the drama is there are no moving parts on the drivetrain to attach the magnetic speed sensor/signal generator

i know Rostra & Audiovox make a signal generator that runs in-line with the speedo cable, its just a shame there units are ugly as sin, i had my heart set on an AP300 where the switching was done on a nice timber gear knob.

so i suppose my question to you all is could either the Rostra in-line signal generator be used with another unit, or could the AP300 switch be used with a rostra unit.

Failing that any other suggestions greatly apreciated

Cheers

well, if you didn't want to cut a hole in the swing axle..<grin>..

I'd be thinking about using a speedo cable signal adapter; something in my head is saying that some of the later model air cooled (or perhaps water cooled) had a speedo cable signal box on the cable. You could think about using a tach signal for a speed signal on that manual trans vehicle.
