Just another Factory 6 being fixed up Options

[Luke M]

Well it's gotten to be that time finally. I've been collecting parts to do the repair on my 914-6 and now the work starts. The main issue is the hell hole/inner engine long, inner pass long, pass inner rocker panels are rusted out. The last part I was trying to source seams to be NLA. I sourced most of the parts from the good guys at Restoration Design. I received my order today for the last batch of things. Based on a few threads that I've looked over the outer shell to the inner engine long is currently not being made by RD. A few guys have made their own which looks like a real pain in the rear to do. I laid out all the new metal to see how things lined up. By the looks of things it will need some fine tuning to mate things properly. Before I start cutting into the chassis I'll build a few braces to keep things true.

Time for the pics...

It's a nice wire harness for sure but there maybe a wiring issue that Kroon was not aware of. I need to check it out to confirm. RD is now making a replacement 914-6 harness as well. I believe the price is about the same.

Hi Luke, can you explain about the "possible wiring issue" in the fan connector ? We just checked the pictures and 5 other original 914-6 harnesses but they're all the same and identical to the new one we produce ?, Red , top left, white-green top right, white-yellow, under left, white, under right ?. Many 914-6's around the world are equipped with a new wiring loom delivered by us and this is the first time we hear about this ?

Hi Gerard,

My harness that you made seams to be ok. There was an issue with the harness that Glenn put in for a customer. Guess there were some wires not located in the proper pins for the ignition. Another member was asking for the fan housing wiring and after looking into it my kroon harness seams correct. My factory 6 harness was tampered with prior to me owning it. That's where the confusion set in but got all worked out.
Looks like the RD 6 harness sells for $2500.00 USD.
