I went to the local blue print shop today to see if they could enlarge my wiring diagram for my 1973 914-4. They blew it up to 2'X3' and laminated it for me. Much easier to follow the wiring now. I need all the electrical help I can get and this REALLY helps.
Cheers, Elliot

$89, or a lot more than I thought they would. I mean, "how expensive could that possibly be right"? Yikes!!

I scanned in all the pages of schematics from a repair guide, blew them up slightly, and printed them out.
Then taped them all together to form 2 poster size pages of the whole deal.

That was back in the '80s ! They are still hanging on my shop wall.

Wish they were in color ! Well, other then hots and grds marked with highliter.

Hey Elliot - as one old fart with lines in our glasses, to another (i.e.: bifocals) -

You should've planned ahead & had them blow them to 4' x 8' & mount them on 4x8 plywood for when our eyes are REALLY bad! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Of course that begs the question if we'll be able to see the connections either by then, so maybe a 200% scale 914 will be in order by then!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Seriously though, that looks good & much easier to use! $89 though just shows what the repro houses get away with now.

I smell opportunity for anybody here who owns a nice plotter. I would gladly cough up some coin for a large copy, and I am near-sighted. Not 89 bones, but I think there would be a lot of takers around the $20 price point.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) If you weren't so cheap you would have had extras made for your old blind friends that have a '73. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
