Power window switch and others...

While I'm going over the cabin wiring in the '83, I remembered my window switch is pretty py (one mount broken off and the wiring itself is a but suspect.  I'm looking for a good power window switch and about 4-6" of wire pigtail.

Also, I need a couple of the upper radiator brackets...I seem to have misplaced mine.  I can use pretty much any Fox type(2.3, 3.8, 5.0) as my ele. fan is mounted differently than the stockers.

Ok, well I have some rad brackets on the way, but am still looking for a switch.

Actually what I really need is the electrical connector that plugs into the switch and about 6" of pigtail.  The catch is, these connectors are pr0ne to breakage, so I'm looking for an unbroken (or minimally cracked one).  Pics prefered if they are cracked.

I'll check the parts TC next time I'm at the cottage for the condition of that harness. 87 is the same as 83, right?

NOt certain.  I haven't compared the two myself.

I know I've got 83 switches in my 88, and the only difference is that when you push the switch down (forward)  the window goes down but when you pull it back it goes up. Before I installed the '83 console it was the opposite - push forward for up, backward for down. This could, of course, be fixed by repinning the harness, but I prefer pulling back to bring the windows up (feels more natural)

I thought the only difference is the switch was bolted in upside down?
