where do we suggest I purchase a quality wiring harness for my 74 914?

New ones do not exist. Put a want to buy in classified (WTB). Jeff Bowlsby may be able to help you, he was repairing them.

From someone on 914world.
Nobody is currently making new ones.

I have a spare chassis harness that I think is 73 or 74.

PM me if you are interested in purchasing.

Mark

Thank you i will do that.

If you have the main loom out (god forgive) and its not worth fixing ….many aren't anyway !! buy a used one and repair it properly with correct wire colours from your old loom using soldered joints and heatshrink or even better Duraseals which are very good, there are presoldered connectors but I have never used them.
Good luck.

You will need to clarify which harness you need. This thread presumes you need the chassis harness...not available...but do you need one or more of others?

Here you can get new harnesses, but unfortunately the Webshop is in German language only.

In case there is a misunderstanding - I have been building 914 wiring harnesses for 20 years:

Hi Jeff,

I know but I thought you don't make the chasis harness and they are making it.

No offence,
Frank

I used Google translate to convert the site to English. 2615 Euros incl tax for all the wiring harnesses (7) for a 2.0L 914.

I'll take pics of mine today and post

You could check out Restoration Design.They have started manufacturing 914 911 and 356 harnesses.

Kroon Wiring Harnesses are now in the process of building 914 chassis harnesses and the extra ancillary harnesses.

All the new harnesses will be $2500 +
It just depends what you are looking for.

I purchased a roller with no main harness. Jeff kindly referred me to these https://www.aasesales.com

Was able to buy a NOS 914 harness for $1500. Some of the rubber a little tired but the wiring still looking pliable, soft, sound. I ended up buying a new boot that’s located at the rear firewall from 914 Rubber.

As Jeff pointed out, be sure you buy the right harness for your year.

For any sub harnesses I’d go straight to Jeff.

I’m pretty sure Aase only has ‘71 main harness.
It’s quite different from a mid year harness.

I used the Aase wiring harness on my build as my car was a 71 so a perfect fit. Most of this NOS harness was in great shape. A couple of the connectors had some wiring going to the wrong terminals that had to be corrected, buy other than that, mine was in excellent condition considering it had been sitting on a shelf for nearly 50 years.
