914/6 Steering Column into 914 Wiring Info Thread, Have all the parts required, looking for a thread (I searched) Options

[Martin Baker]

I plan to/will install a 914/6 type column/converted 911 into a 1975 chassis, no idea what year my 911 switches are from, so it will be an adventure electrically. I have two different wiper switches, and the harnesses from them are radically different. I have pig tails cut from the chassis side of a 911 harness, with the connectors so I don't have to hard wire it in the car.

Is there a thread, or someone who's done it, with REAL "hands on" knowledge?

I have the color 914/6 schematic, and I have the 1975 914 schematic, but what I will need to find out is the switches that I have wire colors. No idea what they are yet.

Thanks in advance...

Thanks much for your inputs everyone. And the well wish! John, did you get you signal conversion parts yet?

As for wipers, if I get the two speeds to work, great, don't think the 4 cylinder motor will go three, since its wired for two. As mine is a race car, and I have yet to drive a rain race (I am dying too, as long as I don't wad it up), I won't be super upset if they don't work right away.

I also have and early 4 cylinder dash frame I was going to put in as well with that RD weld in part.

I did get the turn signal parts. Thanks for the quick shipping! They look like they will work out just fine. Almost the same as what I made out of lexan a long time ago, except you have the shiny curved reflectors. I think the sockets and bulbs are identical.

My race car has no windshield wipers at all. Cut out the cowl and removed the center vent and the wiper hole dents. I'm too old and crotchety to drive it in the rain anymore. It was fun once, now I just don't like getting all the water everywhere. For some reason, my race car holds water much better than it seals it out.
