looking to rewire and came across this
 

I was redoing my dash and became dicusted with the birds nest of wiring behind it so i started looking around and i came across this http://www.hotrodwires.com/18Circuit.html . I was just wondering if this harness would work.

Go with the Wilson Street Works one, they have one for the VW. Easy to use too.

Sorry to correct you 70Ghia, but its Watson's Streetworks. I used thier Vw system on my Father-in-law's '79 SB vert resto. To clean up under the dash i put the fuse box under the rear seat ;) . This is a very friendly kit for the wiring impaired, but any of the streetrod kits will work too.

Here's the web site '75;

Your right,
I had a brain fart on that one.

Hi

Im sticking with stock wiring on my 1303, does the wiring wear out and the VW wire colour system is very logical. Im planning to move the fuse box under front bonnet and Im going to use an 18 fuse box from a local Holden Camira, they are some sort of Vauxhal or Opel OS.

i dont know abuot your wiring but mine is on its last leg. its very brittle and worn

i installed a watson kit on a friend's 65 standard. the car was on the ms gulf coast, and the harness rode out katrina in a box. the acc. ignition switch was damaged by salt water and the fuse block had a lot of built up silt,lots of fun to clean out :banghead: the diagram was non-existent. he called them up and ended up having to pay $35 or something for a replacement. he was not happy and they weren't very helpful. as far as the kit, imo it would be okay for a buggy or rail, but the whole "having extra circuits for more stuff" thing as one of their selling points is a bunch of hooey. in the acc. position the instruments would energize (how many of you with a more modern car see the temp guages, etc. come on when you turn to acc?) the other glaring thing that got my goat (besides the gm colored :puke: wiring) was the fact that the high and low beams (on both headlights!) was on one fuse. and on their site they say something like the germans weren't very good at designing the harness :rolleyes: just my experience, but i like having the wires colored like they're supposed to be.
