HI Roger,
Good luck with the Cruise control.
Out of curiosity, what are some of the destinations you are looking at? I
would like to do some long trips this summer in my TR4A, especially since I
am retiring  this April. Already have plans to drive from Cincinnati to
Watkins Glen in September but summer is over by then.
How about the rest of you guys?

I put an Audiovox cruise control that looks like the one at the link you 
provided in my TR6 and it only works up to about 45 mph.  The problem is 
that the unit is too weak to directly pull the throttle linkage.  I made 
a lever for it, but the cable linkage doesn't have the range to open the 
throttle enough.  A possible option is to put a much weaker throttle 
return spring in place of the stock one, but I don't consider that safe.

Electrically connecting the Audiovox unit was very easy.  If I recall 
correctly, it just had power, a connection to the brake pedal, and a 
connection to the coil to monitor the RPM.  For the power and brake 
pedal, I think I just a double bullet connectors for a quad bullet 
connectors in the dash/pedal area.  For the coil tach connection, I used 
a piggy back spade connector.  I put the controller in an existing hole 
in the dash support under the radio. It is all removable without 
damage.  If I remember right, pressing the clutch causes the RPM to 
change, disengaging the unit.

If anyone made this unit work, please reply to the list as I'm 
interested.  I'm more after speed control to avoid going too fast than 
efficiency.

Roger -

I have installed Murph's kit (ersatz Audiovox) on a couple of cars and it
works great.  I did not add a vacuum canister (though one car already had
one for the brake booster).

Alas, neither was a TR but if I were doing one on the TR4 I think I'd look
at the ball on the lever on the cross shaft meets the back end of the long
link rod (near the firewall).

I used a Rostra on my TR4 and it works just fine. I've installed Rostra's
on two different motorhomes with great success as well.  However on my TR6
I've installed an AP500 from Brandon Distributing (
https://www.manta.com/c/mmjjsgm/brandon-distributing-inc ). I saw one
installed on TR250 at one of the conventions and really liked it's
simplicity and smaller size.

When adding the cruise control you should order an OD escutcheon for the
steering column and use the OD switch opening for the cruise column
switch.  I've use that escutcheon on my 64 Spitfire, TR4 and also the TR6
with the AP500.

I won't get it done this year (again), but one of my "bucket list" items is
to drive my TR3 over as much as is left of old Route 66, LA to Chicago (or
maybe the other way, haven't decided that yet).

I'd love to go drive the Tail of the Dragon and the Blue Ridge Parkway some
day, but that will probably never happen.  Just too dang far from here.
Maybe if I get Dad's TR3A running (which is in Missouri so not quite so far
away from those roads).

If  passing Winslow on 66.  Must stay at the "La Posada" Hotel. It's a 
Harvey Hotel. Restored. Back in the day. Train passengers would stay the 
night there. Amtrak makes 2 stops a day there, it's right along the 
tracks. Many famous people stayed there. Has a Restaurant called the 
"Turquoise Room" . It's a top restaurant in the states. My Wife and I 
have stayed there 5 times. Lots of Art work by Tina Mion.   Also must 
stand on the corner in Winslow AZ.. It's a park dedicated to the Eagles. 
Even has the Flat bed ford. Close to Flagstaff, meteor crater and the 
grand canyon.
