Help with fact sheet on waeco MS-50

[Big Rich]

Hi just wondered if anyone has the fact sheet for fitting the waeco MS-50 speed controller ? as just orded one from Germany, having read some glowing reports ! on the unit ( have looked in members section but unable to locate anything on the unit ??) many thanks Richard

Yea there is a very good one by Simon, I have no doubt he will be in touch soon, it is superb and the unit works brilliant, so simple to use.Happy motoring.

If you PM him he will happily send it to you, I have it somewhere and if I could find it I'd send it.

Not much sense in posting it now really as they are getting hard to find - only one place still seems to offer them.

Instructions are very straight forward and all that needs to be emphasised is:-

The actuator bracket mounts on one of the air filter mounting bolts and the MS-50 throttle cable runs around behind the air filter to line up with the main cable.

No need to cut any pipe for vacuum as there is a spare stub on the metal pipe that runs up the front of the engine - just pull off the stub cap (watch your knuckles) and the MS-50 tube fits perfectly.

When it's all fitted the small wire loop on the electronics box MUST (that cannot be emphasised enough) be cut or the speed pulses won't be the right frequency for the controller to lock on.

When it's working you'll wonder why they weren't fitted as standard - best thing you can add to a Bongo.

Hi Scanner ...sorry i don't know your first name, Its great when you lads take the time to put it to paper and photos for the benifit of the bongo fury members. as they say...! a picture is worth a thousand words Its amazing how much time it saves when someone's done it before, like the info you have just given me ... i have just printed it out ... I would pm him but not sure of his alias ... big thanks for info so far ... anyone got a picture of the job ? Thanks Rich....ps just done THREE weeks in the freda working away, boy it gets smaller the longer you go!

His "alias" is Simon Jones (one of those strange people who use their real name instead of hiding behind a nickname).

Just find one of his posts in the many "Cruise Control" threads and click on the "PM" button.

[Big Rich]

[Simon Jones]

Rich - copy on it's way to you.

[David Edwards]

See, absolute bloody magic eh.

[Big Rich]

Simon Thanks for such a swift reply.! and a cracking fact sheet GOOD PHOTOS, WITH CLEAR AND CONSISE INSTRUCTIONS just what the doctor ordered, Its gonna make the job so much easier to do, it must have took 3 times as long having to photo the job as you did it ! thanks again Simon and best regards Richard.

[Simon Jones]

Cheers Rich - I must get round to finishing the doc at some point & then it can go with all the other factsheets. Its only 'concise' because I didn't have time to put any detail in the text

I've got a new switch arrangement to try: its a stalk unit that fits just below the wiper switch, so has all the controls easily accessible. It's for a different Waeco model, but has a similar plug. Will report back once I've got it working.

[Big Rich]

Hi Simon not much text is required as your good pics cover it fine ... i like the idea of the switch your working on i suppose it will look like its part of the mazda, as apposed to an add on! can't wait to see it completed
Regards Rich
