I am in the process of a 914 2.0 to 914-6 GT conversion project. In thinking about the wiring challenges for the steering column and engine bay, I came across the complete 914-6 harnesses offered by Restoration Design. I am considering both the complete harness and the engine harness. They are pricy but may simplify the wiring conversion process.
Anyone have any experience with these? Are there better options? |

Hi Tom, Like stated, the only companies that I know of that's building 914-6 harnesses is RD and Kroon. I purchased a Kroon harness for my 6 and the process wasn't bad. There was a long wait time. IIRC it was 4 months or so to build and get it state side. The only reason I went with Kroon was because at time RD wasn't making theirs yet. I would say RD is your best bet and one stop shop for the chassis and engine wiring. I've also worked with Perry on a few engine harness and he's great to deal with too. He set me up a nice kit for my brothers 914 3.0 conv. and was great with tech help. As far as I know no one is doing 914 4 harnesses yet. I rewired my brothers chassis harness and it was a real pain. It took a good three weeks to get all sorted out. The cost of buying the correct wire/color combo was not cheap either. It can be done if you have the time and patience to do it.
