Cruise control hosing

[Andrew Sitzer]

Hey Huw!  Thanks for the heads pointer!  I found it, reconnected all hoses
(.49c per foot at local parts store. 10 feet was plenty to replace all 3
hoses)... $4.90 + $.75 for a t-connector AND NOW I HAVE CRUISE
CONTROL!!!!!  WORKS GREAT!!!!

ps. I was surprised that the connector for the brake hose (under the
driver footwell) points towards the back of the car, forcing you to curve
the hose 180degrees to run it back to the engine compartment.. :)

Thanks all!
