    Genius. This worked amazing. I've done quite a few fiberglass enclosures, and always dreaded the sanding.

    This tip worked like a charm! Thanks!!!

    Updates.

    The j dub is at the dealer, having the cruise programmed. Everything working fine!!

    Here's the breakdown.

    I bought a used cruise column. Stole the clock spring and cruise buttons. $125.

    Purchased the harness from the dealer $100

    I installed the clock spring and buttons.

    The dealer quoted me $300 to program.
    But only $500 total to install the harness and program. So I just let them do the harness too.

    They spent about 12 hours on the job, but are charging me for 5. Which works out to $800.

    ( when I pick it up, I might argue a bit about about the quote vs actual charge. There's a law here where dealers can only be 10% over quote, but hey, I have been there, and I know how it is)

    I'm fine with that. I would have sold the car, if I couldn't have fitted cruise.

    Took the ram and a flatbed into the city to pick up the j dub.
    Just easier than two drivers.
    Anywho asked about the $500 quote... Reminding them about the 10% over law.
    I was very polite ( unlike me) and after a few mins, he pumped out another invoice. $549.

    I'll take that!! Wiring looks good, no clutch switch ( fine ) everything looks great! Super excited!!
