Default three spoke wheel in a coupe q?

I've Searched the archives, but did not see what's needed to install the S6/96-98 A4 steering wheel in a Coupe AND retain the rear washer AND autocheck functions...

Anyone?

Default I have that same wheel in my car...

...I luckily had one of the rare CQs that was a transition model that came out just before the airbag edition, but still had the computer controls on the steering column. So, all I had to do was pull the old wheel off and throw the S2 3-spoke on. Looks great and the horn works beautifully! I heard that is the main problem with the airbag models...no functional horn.

Default I like to have one, too.

Unfortunately, in searching the archives, even with Google advanced search, the info is not terribly forthcoming.

I *think* I know what stuff is required for a B3.

Sport wheel (the part number and vehicle year range is easily found.)

Adapter (part number also easily found.)

Clockspring (should come with wheel)

Column covers from a B4 car.

Column switchgear (can't find proper part numbers/part numbers questionable)

For a car with the computer, a switch from a B4 to do the work of the column stalk computer switch. (Also easily found).

If there is a post that details the whole process, I have not found it after several hours of searching.

For the rear window wash, I actually have an idea that involves a momentary-on switch that will get the job done.
