914-6 Wiring Schematic, Anyone got a better one than this Options

[SixerJ]

Hi Guys,

I've been trawling 914 World and the internet generally for a cleaner copy of the attached for my '70 -6

I have found links to this http://www.zapfenterprises.com/orderInfo.html which is the only colour option in existence, as at would appear the factory never bothered & probably will order in the fullness of time

I've also managed to find what I think is a diagram for the '72 six on Jeff's site here http://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/zMan_1970-7...2Supplement.pdf

I've got an electronic copy of the workshop manuals (I'm assuming the electrical section is complete), no luck there either. I've also taken a peep at my friends set of paper manuals, which had the attached as a photocopy slipped in

This diagram seems to be the holy grail of wiring diagrams (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) & I would appear to have run into a wall for the early cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) & any help greatly appreciated

Thanks
Jon

After reviewing these posts, let me clear some things up.
Art Zapf is still around, that is me. I took down my website because sales did not justify the costs.

Regarding the SIX wire schematics
When I researched this subject in the early 1980s, I found two Six schematics: A European version and a US version with a diagnostic box. Neither one represented the cars we have in the US. It is why I decided to make them.
There are no others worldwide to my knowledge unless it is a copy of mine.

If you look to Kroon, his wire harnesses were built to my schematic - I sold one to him.

I have sold these world wide for you the 914-6 owners as I no longer have my six, sadly.
I made the Black and white first and it is made to fit fan folded in the factory manual.
The color was made before computers using graphic tape. It took years before I could get it color copied and it a digital database.
I have plenty of B&W, sadly down to one each of the gloss and encapsulated ones. There are expensive to print, plus my time place orders, pick them up and ship. With sales down to one or two a year, it may not be worth my time and money to print enough in volume to give you better prices. The way of the world.

I am looking for the right person or entity to pass this database to for it be available in the future for the SIX community, but a price - I think I earned it.

After reading this post and all the comments, I would like to respond to this. We sell 914-6 looms for many years. We indeed bought one of your (beautiful) diagrams Art but its not fair to simply assume that we "copied" yours. We were already producing and selling complete 914-6 sets before we bought one of your diagrams. We measured every single wire and every single connection one by one. That was certainly not easy and took a lot, a lot of time. Presenting the drawing as the harness is laid out in front of you is also not new, i already did this from the very first (early 912) drawing when i started our business from behind our kitchen table at home. The drawing for a Europe 914-6 version is also quite different to US and we have both versions available for each year. We deliver our diagrams only together with a new harness. Because we have been producing so many wiring looms for so long, we know all the differences. A 70's harness is different from a 71, and a 72 is quite different too. As with other models, these differences are often not shown on factory drawings. You only learn these differences by working with them every day. So I find it strange if someone offers a "complete 914-6 wiring harness" without stating what year it is and whether it is a US or ROW version. Over the years we have documented all these differences in drawings and wiring lists. We also never had the intention of selling any electrical schematics. The aim was only to simplify the connection of the wiring harness supplied by us.
In short, if you buy a 1971 914-6 US wiring harness set from us, you will receive a 1971 914-6 US set, complete with the correct engine wiring harness, wiper harness, dash harness and of course we also supply the correct drawing. Our family business originated from a pure passion for classic Porsches. We want to deliver the best and original product for a reasonable price. We have been doing this with great success for years and we will certainly continue to do so. Our technical support department is always available (free of charge) to help other Porsche enthusiasts. So even if someone has a technical question, feel free to send us an email. (info@kroonwireharnesses.com) We always try to answer these within 24 hours.
