Further to the original questions about cruise control, here is what I think needs to be done to get the cruise to work.

- The blue/brown wire connected to pin 3 of the cruise brain needs to be grounded. Best to use ground location G200 under the dash.

- The switch on the clutch pedal needs to be wired into the cruise control circuit so that depressing the clutch shuts off the cruise control. The brake light switch is wired using a green/red wire to connector 9 on the cruise control brain. This clutch pedal switch needs to be wired into this circuit in series. There is a video out there that indicates a connector exists under the dash that is jumpered that can be used for this.

With some help (Thanks Chris), I found the answer to the question I posted above. Best to switch to the manual throttle position sensor. See here:
