I remember the article and thought they looked quite good. Might even do it myself in the touring shell that I'm slowly preparing as the final home of my LPG'd M50 engine, if a few E36 switches come my way.
Would be a lot easier if you had the sockets with a few inches of wire on them, as I would expect some kind of match from the colours.
Sounds like you've got the info you need by now anyway.

Just did a quick search, and can't find it, other than it was in the now defunct "customised and highly modified" section.
Possible we can no longer search that section?

The threads contained in the customized section were dissipated into all the other sections.

each to there own mate
and trust me unless i ever do 5studs the switches will be the only 36 parts ever to go on my car

i truly hate the 36s but i quite like them switches and also want the 1touch relay as sick of holding the button and waiting for the windows

There's a little bracket punched out of the metal frame of the E30 windows that looks like a microswitch for one touch should fit there.
Was one touch windows ever an option on E30s?
