For those who have repaired wire harnesses in their 914, is there a vendor who sells all the different color combinations? And, what is the best way to label the wires?

TIA!

Restoration Design makes new harnesses and will sell the correct color bare wire. The wires are already labeled with colors but you can buy little plastic zip ties with a tag on Amazon if that’s what you mean.

My goal is to basically recreate the harness using the stock wire color

I've been there and done that on my brothers 6 conv. I ended up modifying his wire harness along the way. Moved fuel pump up front, removed relay board in engine bay, removed inter lock start relay, and couple other things to run fans behind his oil cooler. Hope you have a good 2 weeks free to do it. I went through the harness and wrote down the color combos/size. I ordered the proper size and color wires needed. Don't forget to order new terminal ends and tape as well.

I'm doing this to get ready for the north east gathering so I have some time. I plan on doing what you did, but I'm not sure if I'll relocate anything yet. Where did you order the wire from?
