Save money up and get MOMO wheel with cruise centre.
Relocated cruise would be a pain dude, either have it looking out of place somewhere but easy to hit still, or hidden but a pain in the a*** to use.

Ford did have a Cruise Control Option for the POVO packs EA-ED it was mounted on the dash.

Contact a ford dealer to see if this is avalible still as I still get parts from ford for my car.

The MOMO Boss has the three required rings on it for pickup of the cruise signal.

The EB GT Wheel works a treat - if you can get one. If you cant, id suggest having a bit of fun making it work. Whatever you do, DONT do that Povo version!. ERGH.

Looks like a jiffy box just drilled for the switches. Seriously Folks : Show some class. Try and put the EF Style switches on a Momo wheel for gods sake.

that a neat trick posted by EDMONTY so if you have the switches & know electronics anything can be done but if its a POVO then the factory switch option for the POVO will be the go as the POVO packs don't have the LOOM required for cruise control.

you could also ditch one of the vents on the RHS of the column and put the switches there,

after market wheels look s**t on late model falcons anyway :o

a better option IMO is to put in a EF steering column and use one of the many good looking EF-AU momo/leather jobbies and use the EF or EL buttons.

Would look s**t hot :P
