3b indicator stalk into an RS2

[Bowlerwell]

I have an indicator stalk with cruise control buttons on it. I think it's from a 3b.
I took the assembly to bits this afternoon to put the stalk on my RS2.
Turns out it won't fit..the pivot point where the stalk seats into the housing is inverted in the RS2...
Any BTDT?
What can I do?

Thanks,
JB

sorry about the last message - read it wrong.

If you speak to error404 he fitted cruise control so should be able to help.

You have to dismantle the stick and put it on the rs2 unit.

you have to achieve this:

[Bowlerwell]

Ah ok... But how do I detach the stalk from the housing on the end? No screws...

[Error404]

there is a pin that it pivots on - you need to push it out and then it comes apart

[Bowlerwell]

Fantastic. Just what I needed to know.

[Bowlerwell]

Job done now. Thanks guys.

But one more thing, I have 2 switches, one for the brake pedal and one for the clutch pedal...
But there's no hole in my clutch pedal bracket to mount the switch...
Will leaving out this switch mess up the electrics?

[Error404]

its much higher up than on the brake one mate, and not quite a hole more a cut-out in the side of the pedal - you might not have noticed it

and yes it won't work properly without it installed

[Bowlerwell]

Ok, thanks.
I'll have a second look and see what's there.

[Bowlerwell]

Do you mean the side of the pedal, or the side of the bracket?
There is a cut-out in the side of the bracket, but it's not in line with the clutch pedal, so the switch would never be pushed...
Perhaps I should take a picture...

[Error404]

yeah sorry, there is a cut-out in the bracket - from memory there is a folded tab on the pedal that lines up with the cut-out for the switch.

Does this help:

[Bowlerwell]

This diagram shows the switch attaching much higher up...
In that hole I have what looks like a stopper for the clutch pedal.
Is that where the switch gows?
That would mean the switch constantly holding the clutch spring force...

[Error404]

The pedal should hold the switch closed, but i've never heard of a stopper and that diagram shows the pedal box assembly from a 1995 RS2 AFAIK (no stopper).
On my CQ the pedal rested against the bracket, my guess is whatever is in that hole doesn't need to be there.
put the switch in with the pedal fully returned so its no taking the spring pressure.

Getting the clutch switch in is a PITA, i got trapped in the footwell with cramp in my back when i did mine

[Bowlerwell]

Ouch....

Ok, will remove whatever's in there and should be able to get the switch in... Hopefully no cramps...

Thanks very much!!!
