Although very expensive, it looks like Restoration Design is now offering whole body wiring harnesses for our 914s
At around €5000+ tax |

The 914 chassis harness is a complicated harness to build. I have documented most of them and each has in the range of 175 circuits and 80 different combinations of wire gauge/color/striping which most are special order. Wire for each of these needs to be bought in bulk quantities and then there are special wire terminals and various special connector housings. The initial $ investment and labor to R/D these, to then acquire the parts and materials, and then actually build one is very significant. Hats off to those building and offering them for our 914s, all things considered these prices are a gift for what you get.

In addition each year harness is different and there is euro and non euro versions. Even at that price i do not see it as a big money maker. |
