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! |

Bowlsby is our local wiring guru and makes nice harnesses specifically for 914s if you need them. I like supporting our 914world crew first when they are as good as anyone else out there.

We just started up our nut and bolt restoration (sitting since 1986) and the only electrical short was caused by an improperly installed dash light... the harness looks good as well! |
