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!

I used Hot Rods Wires for our Healey. Old cloth wrapped wiring is not my idea of safe or repairable. I likely could have purchased a cloth wrapped reproduction but the car is no longer stock. I have to throw away the directions and just run it my way as the GM design did not suit my needs. It took a while but it all works. Even added wires for the electric fuel pump and hidden stereo.


Then once the car was wired I needed to figure out the fuel injection. Here is the diagram for the fuel injection. I had to dissect out the parts of the stock Suzuki Swift GTI harness that were not related to the fuel injection. Does it work? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Not that far yet.

For the 914, I would never do it.
