Hi all,
I have finally started the resortation of my poor 914. I'm sure you are all aware of the situation. The more I look the more work I find. Comes with the territory. I have the car down to a bare shell now and my welder will come by for a look sometime soon. I see a fair load of work but he's not easily phased out. I have to but only admire his enthusiasm. The car is frankenstein. Under that coat of resale Red i found, yellow doors, silver frunk, black trunk. However the wiring. I was wondering if the harness from 1970 IE was any different to the 1971 or 1972. Mainly I can get hold of a 1972 one in good condition as mine is for simpler words shot. Does anyone have any literature on this and if it can be made to work. The PO cabled in the appearance package and it's terrible. The car was converted to drive on 2 dellortos and they are full of crust on my workbench. Not dust or dirt... Crust. Solid hard crust. So this also means that the PO rewired the engine to the fuse box too and it's horrible. And if you've previously searched wiring harness then it's cost will leave you sobbing for years. Cheers Shaun |

Many moons ago i put a '74 main harness into my '70 car, which turned out to be one of the more stupider things i have done.
It took weeks and was by all accounts a very frustrating experience. Save yourself a lot of time and headache and find a harness from a car that matches yours in build date as closely as possible. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |
