Default Re: Cruise control not working

I know this is an old item, but thought I would share my experience and FIX.
The Brake switch was the cause of the Cruise control. Not because it was Broken.
I have an XR8 Manual.
Apparently I am told its common problem for the clutch Brake cradle assembly to bend and also like mine to bend the firewall out, or distort the bracket assembly. If it was common I had never heard of it.

I removed it to have a look also I had another to compare it to, and indeed it was bent and the firewall was also pushed out.
So I took the spare unit to a manufacturer and got him to make it stronger, Also I got a piece of 1/8 steel and shaped it to fit on the fire wall. When it was all in place the Brake-light switch now lined up, and the cruise control worked.
