I finished wiring up my fuse block. Still need to dress in the wire bundles a bit better, but not looking too bad...

It was a BIG day in the backyard 914 "garage" today! I feel like quoting Dr. Frankenstein "It's Alive!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
  It's just the parking/running lights, but it still feels like a major milestone! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) I used the Miata battery and some crazy Chinese battery terminals that appear to use old bicycle wheel quick releases (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)  But, its enough so that I can use a small inline fuse for testing each circuit independently. I was also able to test the breaker feeding the fuse block, and my battery kill switch.  Now if I can just decipher the turn signal & wiper stalk connectors I'll be making some real progress!

Always nice to see your updates Mike... I think your wiring methodology is spot-on..and your end result will be super clean. I'll try and adapt a few of your methods for sure..... Mine is a bit more chaotic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Finally made a spot for the 2x3 welding fixture table my wife got me for Christmas - looks like a decent little table!
 Snug as a bug in a rug!  My hazard switch was not checking out with my multimeter. Turns out it must have popped open and lost it's contacts along the way! Ordered a new hazard switch from JBugs...  I did get my turn signals working, minus the hazard switch at the moment.  Once I've got it all working together (waiting on a relay to handle the momentary switch for the high/low beams), I'll feed it all through the column and dress the wires in properly. |

Received my JBugs hazard switch and got it wired in. Still waiting on the high/low beam relay, but it's been raining so not able to work on the '14 anyway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Here's the JBugs VW hazard switch compared to the original:   Seems rather simple if you wanted to swap the original switch cover/label onto the replacement switch. Here's the wiring diagram they provide - seems to match up correctly with the original:  |

Did you put those 5-bolt hubs on the spindles from your original 4cyl struts, or did you change the struts to 911 ones? If you used the 4cyl struts exactly what hubs did you use and did you need to use different size bearings to mate up with the spindle? I didn't think 911 front hubs mated properly with the 4cyl 914 spindle. Thanks.
