I have an intermittent control I am going to fit to the Ute the same as I have on the sedan……. one day

I have a couple of HJ-Z units here that would be easy to adapt , what have you used ??

Cruise control- some assembly required ……

Thanks Blacky. I’ve looked at the command ones. That one doesn’t look that old and has the magnet pick up.

same as what i just put in my hiace, they're still a few years old and command don't have kits any more they can't get the vac modulators, they have everything except them

Well I hope the bloody thing works , made all the brackets etc today - started with a CAD template as usual ….

… got that bit close to right

Then transferred to steel and bent it up

Did final fettling and made a brace to go behind it

Then on to the pickup bracket - had to make it longer on both planes so made a bracket and welded it on


Glued on the new bits plus a couple of braces

Next !!
Need a cutout switch for the clutch pedal and brake pedal to deactivate the thing so used a standard brake pedal switch and mounted it similar to the stock brake pedal


Used a donor pedal box to experiment on before taking to the one in the ute

Like a bought one —

Painted up all the brackets then went and mowed the lawns and did some socialising

I have a VN VP cruise control kit that my son got for me when he was working at a Holden spares place, it wants to use a body control module but I just not tech enough to work it out yet.
I'll have to really sit done and see if I can get my head around it, I assume that the body control module would need to have feed from the computer this is where I come unstuck

Open circuit with a paper clip?

Cruise control done - need to put ute back together and road test - still got brakes to do yet
Control thingy ended up above the battery - a couple of nutserts to hold it up


Brainbox is next to glovebox

Heater is still not done , was waiting on a left side lever that a bloke from NSW sent me over - it got here yesterday and turns out was just 2 right side levers with the left one dodgied up
Seeing as he went to all the effort of sending it I figured I better use the bloody thing so I set to it with a grinder and a glue gun

How it is and how it needs to be -


Cut and shut -



Glued and ground ready for a quick squirt of cold gal


Rough enough- just need to get down to Autocables and pick up a section of push/pull cable to finish it off.
