So I swear I remember a relay plate elimination harness. I need to do my alternator so I figured this would be a good time to get rid of the relay plate at the same time.
Car is a '73 1.7 with a six swap. Thanks in advance. Kelly |

There are differences in the layout on the main connector over the years and the PMS adapter harness doesn't support all of them. I had to switch a few wires in the PMS connector to make it match my car harness. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

relatively simple to make your own bypass - but you have to find a 14-pin connector that mates to your engine side connector - - sometimes on e-bay
- offhand i don't recall which side is male & which is female (would have to go look in some storage boxes) - kinda elusive in aftermarket, but sometimes find in wrecking yards on other Bosch equipped German cars I may have new one I b'ot awhile back & did not use - ( for my 3.2 I just got a Patrick conversion harness instead) (for awhile they quit making them - said there were not enuf usable 3.2s left to be worth the marketing effort; same comment goes for 2.7 & older) - but if you ask real nice, i'm sure they could sell you the matching connector 'cuz they get them somewhere once you have the mating connectors, you just plug in the body harness to the engine harness - mindful of the comparative pinouts as mentioned above - many will not be used - (you do have the wiring diagrams for both the engine & body, eh?) - assuming you still have an older alternator with external regulator, you plug alternator 3-wire plug directly into the separate regulator - if you have an IR unit, it's even simpler . |

Thanks for the reply guys
2.0L six with external regulator. I was on the Patrick website, but I didn't see an elimination harness offered. Perhaps I'll give them a call. Hmmmm....so an Audi 5000 turbo connector will connect the two wire harness connectors? That's interesting. Yes I have all the wiring diagrams. Kelly |

the only wire harness adapters that ive seen have been for 3.2 or 3.6. the other engines usually get the engine harness remade for the conversion. Perry on this site does one and Jeff B might also. Kroon is also making one.

Thanks Mark!
Kelly, I can make you a harness that will look factory, and have a remote voltage regulator. PM me or email me at perry.kiehl@hotmail.com for more info. |
