Here are the extensions for the fuel pump wires, attached to the leads that I re-routed through the snorkel. The new wires will eventually run all the way to the relocated pump up front.

If you don't already to this for a single wire terminal I start with the large jaw and crimp then I move to the middle jaw and get a much better result.
Keep on Crimpin.

More wire repair today. Here's a replacement for the power lead to the cig lighter.

And after a bit of black marker, the match is better.

This is a real nice example of PO handiwork, a wire spliced into a lead to the left door switch. Presumably, this was for the aftermarket alarm.

Here's a real special example. Twinned leads from one of the head light fuses, all melted. A PO short?

After measuring a friend's 914 (thanks, Mike!) I decided to complete the rear portion of the harness (everything in the trunk).

Here's the wiring laid out to match dimensions marked on the table.

The center needs the most work, where I have to rebuild the leads to the license plate lights.

Wrapping the harness take a Zen mind state, trying to keep the spiral constant. Practice from years of wrapping road bike handlebars helps. I am glad to have one part of the harness done!

Hello,

I may follow your lead sir to fix mine soon which was cut into half by the center tunnel line. Or maybe use the Heat shrink butt connector.

Thanks, Cairo.

Those butt connectors should work, but for the heavy gauge leads (for higher amp current), soldering might be better.

Any EE types can tell us the truth.

More wire work today. I got some additional materials: super adhesive stretchy rubber tape and paint-on rubber coating, both by 3M. I am using these to patch wires with small nicks or cuts in the insulation.

This makes the repair a little bulky, but I think better than cutting and splicing.
