If you've been watching the forum, you know it got frustrating there for a while, trying to figure out how to mount the indicator switch. Thanks to Ducu for getting me unstuck on this issue. Hopefully now more of us can get this done right on the first try - watch for E38 shifter prices to go up on eBay!
