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?

Thanks for all the replies and advice. I am not opposed to restoring and reusing my original harness. I am in the process of carefully removing it and documenting all the connections. I have cleaned, restored, modified and reused my original harnesses in my previous 911 projects.

My main reasosn for considering the 914-6 replacement harness are the ignition switch, turn signals and wiper switches where I will be using 911 components with different connectors. Also the in the engine bay where I will be using a 3.0L twin plug (possibly with EFI). Isn't it really just a matter of finding or making custom harnesses with appropriate connectors to mate my 914 harness to the 911 components? Seems like a waste of $$ to buy an entire harness for just those connections.
