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? |

QUOTE(mepstein @ Feb 18 2022, 04:51 PM)  One last option Only use replacement harnesses that are identical to the year of your car, they are not interchangable from year to year. Each model year is pretty much different, which may affect hookups to dash switches, gauges etc. Here is a draft comparison chart: https://bowlsby.net/914/WiringHarnesses/doc...nessIDGuide.pdf This Aase harness above for example is listed as a 1971 with the 12 pin steering column connector which is correct for the 1970 and early 1971 models. But at some point later in 1971, a circuit was added and the late 1971 chassis harness has a 14 pin connector (with an unused cavity). |
