All I can say about the switch and spring load is I bought a NOS kit which consisted of the switch and loom from Max back in the 80s or 90s when he still had a few for sale. It is the exact same 4 terminal switch shown in the SC article in post 20 of this thread and this one was not spring loaded. Maybe there was a change somewhere along the line or maybe your friend who owned the car first modified the switch. IIRC, Randy Berger mentioned thinking about adding a spring to his switch in one of his blogs or past discussions on the forum about the TL system. Since the case is soldered to the switch at a couple of spots to provide the direct ground for the raise or lower positions I never took the switch apart to see how easy or difficult adding springs would be.
