Restoration Design 914-6 Wiring harness? Options

[Tom1394racing]

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?

The OP is building a 914-6GT and any harness he buys will be modified so might as well start out with new wire, modify it on the bench and then install it in the car. It doesn’t really matter if the steering column is 12 pin or 14 if he’s going to modify it to left side ignition, add gauges, etc.

I’m certainly no wire expert but I don’t think the year of the chassis matters that much if you are taking it down to a shell and building it back to GT specs. You are going to change the engine and steering column connection on whatever year chassis you are using. The rest of the wiring doesn’t change much from year to year.
