80FC33 cruise control options
Has anyone experimented with different options for the old vacuum type
cruise controls on the older birds? Mine is missing the drive shaft magnets and I don't know if it works beyond that. I would like to replace it and have been informed of one type. Any other replacements out there worth investigation at a 'not to terrible' price? ALso if you have an old vacuum system or the magnet pickups or info on them, please let me know..... Thanks Todd Tumbleston 80FC33, Key Largo Fl |

That's ironic, the original magnets work great for my King Cruise or what ever.

The magnets are available from NAPA. For a couple of dollars it is a
cheep test. I always wrap a nylon tie around them and do not just rely on the sticky backing. -----Original Message----- From: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com [mailto:WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of ernesttumbleston Sent: Thursday, April 21, 2005 10:03 AM To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] 80FC33 cruise control options Has anyone experimented with different options for the old vacuum type cruise controls on the older birds?

The magnets are a hardware store item. 1/4" square by 1/8" thick will be fine.
Mount 180 degrees apart in line with pick up coil. Attach to drive shaft with epoxy and secure with common wire tie. It's ok to use two wire ties if one long enough isn't available. The pick up coil should be 1/4" away from the shaft. If not enough signal is evident, place magnets 90 degrees apart on drive shaft. My Cruise King kit came with 4 magnets but I tried using the original two magnets and original pick up coil, works fine. A word of caution regarding the Cruise King, it requies a dedicated 20 amp circuit.
