Full Version: Ordering a New Kroon Wire Harness

I have been working with Gerald Kroon at Kroon Wire Harnesses. I just sent them my 70 harness as a core and as soon as they receive it, they will begin building my 914-6 main chassis harness. Gerald suggested that I order a 70 ROW harness as that's what most customers order for a 914-6.

I understand what "Rest of World" means in general terms but not sure what that means exactly when it comes to a US build car (US v. ROW features/options).

My car is a conversion but will have all 914-6 specific parts (steering column, switches, wiper, etc.).

Your feedback and opinion regarding the 70 ROW harness, as being the correct harness, is welcome! I do not want to order the wrong harness.

Thanks,

Greg

I sent him my '71 - 4 harness to duplicate. After almost 2 years he said he decided not to duplicate it and asked if I wanted it back. Hell yes. Cost me $75 in shipping that I didn't get back. No compensatin from Kroon for the use of my harness for almost 2 years. I know he tells people to list their harnesses for very little value to beat customs but you take a gamble if your harness is lost in shipping.

No experience with him but the finish product looks good. I would never buy one since it easy to fix a harness and I'm a CSOB and an electrician.

I got a harness for a 356 from them. It looks very good but has not yet been installed so time will tell. Looks way better than what i originally had. It wasn't quick by any means but he kept me updated and added things I wanted without much change in price.

If your 1971 harness is a late model year has the 14 pin connector at the steering column, I may be interested in buying it if its is for sale. LMK.

I bought a -6 engine harness from Kroon and have no problems with it.
It fits and works fine

Greg the only thing that jumps out as an obvious diff. to me is marker lights.
U.S. cars had/has wiring for them ROW doesnt confused24.gif

Thanks Rich,

Jeff Bowlsby mentioned that too. I have the parts for euro turn buckets and am considering doing a side marker delete on this car. The ROW harness is perfect then. What about the seat belt warning buzzer on US cars? Was that a standard on 6's?

It's not for sale.

The sixes do not have the seat belt warning buzzer so no worries there. I would guess that the ROW cars had the same 3 speed wipers, turn signal switches, etc. I deleted the side marker lights on the six I restored and it looked nicer in my opinion.

The reason for not making the -4 harness from what he told me is that he cant find the relay plate connector unless he orders like 1000 pieces of it. I think it should be possible to 3D print the parts, a bit more expensive per part but at least possible to make....
