Repaired Cruise control

My cruise control would kick off intermittently. The connecting push rod was worn and would pop off the ball joints on the throttle linkage at the fuel pump.
I looked for a new one. Giles has them in stock apparently.
Ended up fixing mine with some 2mm thick steel wire, an old bicycle spoke. I made a couple of clips to help hold the link onto the balls. I tried it on a 400 mile trip and it worked for now.

I fixed mine by pushing a piece of wire, smaller gauge than yours, into the groove around the outside of the cup. Now it is so tight it is hard to get on and off.
