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?

I priced out the kroon harness for my car when faced with rewiring needs. At $3600 all in was a little too steep for me given the car is track only at this stage so went with new aim pdm and custom harness as, much like you noted in first post, headaches with 50 year old wiring is not fun. I spent more than the harness costs but got a lot of features i "needed" for the track as well with dash, cam, etc.

You will not regret going new. Get on the phone with one of the vendors above and talk through your chasis and engine target and see what will get you 90% of the way there. You may have to mod once you get it there but that is the price you pay for converting! The closer you can get to what you need without chasing gremlins the better.
