I could get Matty104's from his e30 he has stripped.

We had a quick look yesterday.

Seems doable?

Just earth and power?

Done one. Bit of dicking around but straight forward.

Get the WHOLE electric mechanism inc relay & wiring. Earth connects to bolt up at motor, power wire runs down L/H pillar & connects to a pre wired plug behind glovebox

Don't know - haven't looked but it is pretty self explanitory with the parts in your hand - just somewhat fiddly

It's mechanical. Got nothing to do with wiring. Just the same as when you crank your winder uper.

Done two, no real issues, you do nedd every thing, including the tin plate that the electric motor is mounted on, needs a drill to remove the roll over rivet, then as said before its follow the way it comes out of donor car.

So if i have all the right parts is it just simply a matter of connecting up the power and earthing it?

Yes - as I stated earlier in the thread:-

If you are pulling it off a car it is pretty easy to see how it works and how it comes apart. So it should be just as easy putting it in another car.
