E Z wireing?, anyone every try EZ wire harness for 914 Options

[Calwaterbear]

getting to the point where i will be starting on Electrical, and I am scared to death of the German wiring - not much good at electronics anyway, and looking at 45 years of degradation.
My buddy has used EZ Wire Kits
http://www.ezwiring.com/store/
in several of his projects, essentially pull out all the wires, put in the EZ wire system. 18 fuses, 21 circuits, all the wires are color coded and labelled every 5 inches, you just take the appropriate wire to the correct location, and attach it. That sounds a whole lot more appealing that trying to figure out german wire diagrams, and chase down what is almost assuredly multiple shorts and ground issues.

Not interested in Historical accuracy - restoring a junk yard find to fun driver, canyon carver! so reliability counts alot!

IMHO, anything that says easy, usually ain't. What's got you scared about the OEM wiring? There are plenty of schematics w/ no guess work. Just a quick look at that harness I'd say the cigarette lighter etc would be a snap but when you begin to disect the blinker system, retract headlights, etc. your going to wish you had stayed OEM. You might need to add a few new spade ends or cut out a bad section of the OEM harness but at least all the guess work is already done and it's just a matter of taking the wire from point A to point B. I've messed with a couple of 914's now. Stock and conversions and IMHO you'd be better off dressing up that 40 yo harness that was made for your car. Another thing; if you run up against a problem with the OEM system there are several here that can assist you. If you go custom your on your own. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
