Began cleaning the wiring harness of the 914/6 GT replica today... it's crusty as expected. It's had the usual hacks and splices and looks like some dead ends, but I haven't tested it yet. Expecting the worst, I've sent a request to Kroon for pricing.
Can anyone recommend a stateside source for wiring looms? Experiences?  |

I would buy one of Aase’s NOS 914-4 harnesses and change around the wires to make it a six harness. In my mind (non electrical person) it should be an easy mod.

Carefully compare the schematics and I suspect you will see differences in the dash/gauges/switches ignition areas. Look at the 14-pin relay board connection, bet it’s different too between the /4 and /6. |

Jeff, I visited your site and saw you make quite a lot of products for -4s, do you rebuild -6 harnesses as well? I may take you up on the relay board, Mark. This car sat outside a long time before I got it... everything is pretty crispy. |

Perry Kiehl does /6 engine harnesses. The only sources I am aware for the /6 chassis harness is Kroon and RD. I have an NOS /6 harness in my harness reference library but its NFS. |
