What you are looking for is a potentiometer with the same resistance curve as your throttle pedal sensor. You'd need to use an ohmmeter to measure the resistance of the pedal to get the right one. Then you need a 12 volt ice-cube relay with a start button and a seal-in to transfer control from the pedal to your new dial. The brake light switch could be used to disengage your control transfer relay if it had a resister in it's ground path of the right size. I've thought about doing this project as a DIY. You can get better mileage with this setup under hyper-mile concepts because you scrub off speed up hill and pick up speed down hill. I've already got Rostra cruise, but I think your a-barkin up the right tree with this concept.
