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...

Hey Martin
I chickened out on adapting the 6 column switches to a 4 cyl. harness.
I got a salvage 6 harness years ago......in it went....easy peasy.
What I did do that may be of interest to others who responded here is adapt a
911 3 speed wiper motor to a standard 914 wiper rack.
Not complicated at all, just a matter of re-positioning the motor mounting holes.
BUT there are different versions of the 911 motor. Choose the one that is
configured just like a 914 2 speed.
