I am preparing my '71 914-4 for restoration. It has come to the point to make a decision how to handle the wiring harness. Are they available for sale NOS? Or does everyone reuse the original one in the car?
I read that one of the builds used an NOS harness and NOS fuse-box. It said - "both courtesy of Mr. Sager." Although it was a six (Mine is just a 4). Here is the link: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=78492 Thanks, Steve |

Hey Warren,
Damaged conductors such as those without their insulation need to be replaced. Best repair is to replace the wire, complete, terminal to terminal (replace the terminals). I have a NASA wire repair manual somewhere that indicates certain procedures for soldered splices in NASA applications. Soldered connections at terminals or conditions subject to vibration are a bad thing, not advisable. Soldered repairs at conductors not subject to vibration are accepted practice. If its good enough for NASA, it should be good enough for our 914s. |
