Help please

Post by Ageinggit »

Earlier this year I just managed to avoid a major engine bay fire when one of the old looms shorted out. Have now gotten around to sorting things and purchased new looms from Jeff Bowlsby in the states. They weren't cheap BUT are absolutely beautiful (eyes of the beholder) with all the correct connectors and in heat shrunk casing. Removing the old loom looked at first like an engine out job but after hours of looking, testing and generally gaining confidence about the doability the old ones are out and the new partially fitted albeit with slightly different routing. Circuit testing continues.

The next step is to rectify the crumbling 14 point connector from the main chassis loom to the regulator board. The plastic has become brittle and some wires are loose with the soldered connections distinctly "ify".

Does anyone know where these connectors can be sourced? Preferably new, but good second hand would be better than nought. Ideally I'd also like to find some of the snap clips that hold them securely to the board as well.

Any leads (sorry!) would be much appreciated.

Best regards to all

This part is available from Porsche.
Part # 911.612.113.05
Price £28.06 + VAT

Most 914s have the clip missing nowadays, the plug does stay in place without them as this clip holds the cable onto the relay board.
Part # 914.610.107.00 is no longer available from Porsche, but there is a repro. available from the U.S. i.e. autoatlanta

John I see you're another Scottish DDK'er welcome on board. What part of the Highlands are you from, and please don't say Callander :lol:

p.s. you are not allowed to post on here and get advice from nice people like Kevin without posting pictures of your car. You have been warned!
