W123 Vacuum InterLock Diagram

NOTE - Updated Notes - The 5th POST on this THREAD is where to go in order to download my fancy W123 Vacuum Door-Lock Diagram in living color: W123 Vacuum InterLock Diagram
Original Post from here on...!
I recently cut my teeth on this system by working on my Son's car we purchased a few months ago.
The interlock system was in pitiful condition and since there were electric window issues present, I decided to first go through all the doors cleaning and lubricating everything that looked like it had something to do with these two systems… and as I got into the project I also found rust problems at the bottom of the doors just above the inside weather/sound seals on these doors.

I ended up replacing 3 of the 4 door seals and in this effort think I found a way to reduce the rusting problem along the bottoms of the doors, so first my opinion on this. Inevitably the new foam rubber seals ended up with excess rubber bunched up at wherever you ended up… so I found that if I planned ahead for this to be in the center of the bottom of the door I could cut out the excess seal rubber here where it is not readily visible and also end up with a place water to drain down and out of the car. The water that apparently collects on top of the seal down there must be from condensation and when it is just allowed to sit there, the inevitable [rust] must happen!

Back to my Vacuum InterLock Diagram which is a short story for once.
What I did was look around for diagrams that might be helpful to me in learning about and repairing this system and YES, there was some diagrams on this WebSite’s FORUM’s but they really didn’t help too much for they were difficult to read with no color to aid in following the different vacuum lines. So after I finished, I put my knowledge [ limited as I consider it to be ]…
I put it all down in a CAD drawing [ AutoSketch ]. I then found a way to convert the CAD drawing to "wmf" and then “Jpg” file formats with tolerable loss of resolution so that I could at least post a copy with this POST
[ I hope ] for you to peruse. Yes, I borrowed some of the vacuum component graphics from diagrams that I'm sure you will recognized.

IF any of you would like a much better copy of this drawing in a MS Word format file that is just under 100K in size, please let me know by sending me your E-mail address. I'm presuming there is a limit on attached files in this WebSite's e-mail system!?

What I’m really looking for is the benefit of your experience and suggestions as to how I might improve this drawing effort… and then maybe it will be good enough that someone will decide to have the higher quality file also available somewhere here on the WebSite.

Sam
