Gentlemen; I'm well into a major rust repair job on my '74/ 914/4 and I've decided to replace my wiring harness (since it out of the car anyway) with modern GXL automotive wire. I found a supplier for the wire that matches the factory color code, but I haven't found a source for the OEM VW connectors. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

You may be able to find the connectors at Tyco Electronics' site
http://www.tycoelectronics.com/industry/automotive/ However, I don't know if you will be able to purchase small quantities of connectors from Tyco or any of the big distributors. Another option may be to replace just the terminals in the connector. You could crimp new terminals to the wires and insert the terminals into the old plastic housing. Similar terminals may be easier to find than the entire connector because the plastic housings my not be NLA. |
