What would be the best way of going about this? I want to put the key ignitions on the dash panel to the left like 911's have.

I also want to put the windshield wiper swith on the dash, how many speeds are 914 windshield wipers anyway?

If anyone has done anything similar good you post some pics

thanks,
Josh

Changing to a dash key would take a lot of work (if you want it to be like the factory).

You have other options...

One would be to install a push button switch in the dash (like many modern cars). You would have to put the key in the ignition to turn it to the ON position, then push the button to start the car.

OR... you might be able to get a generic key switch and install it in the dash and rewire everything.

As far as the wipers... it should be two speeds (but I think some cars had an intermitent option (by adding a relay).

A lot depends on what year car you have.

If you look at a wiring diagram, then you can figure out which color wires control which functions.
