Wiring Works 1972-74 VW Beetle Complete Wiring Kit - For Use with Internally Regulated Alternator

This is a complete wiring harness for the late 1971 (models with a column mounted wiper switch and a 12 circuit fuse) Beetle Sedans, 1972-1973.5 VW Beetle Sedans, 1974 Beetle Sedans, that have an internally regulated alternator, and 1975-1977 VW Beetle Sedans with an internally regulated alternator that do not have fuel injection. This harness is for use with alternator with internal voltage regulator (AL82). These kits are great for repairing old dried out wiring, or replacing the wires after a new paint job. All kits are made from original wiring loom schematics and are factory color coded. All kits are factory length and pre-terminated. Each kit includes detailed instructions which will simplify the task of rewiring your VW. This kit is compatible with 12 and 6 volt systems. Steering column harness, fusebox, battery cables, and relays are not included. All of our original style replacement wiring harnesses are made in the USA with OEM AMP terminal ends.
The WK-113-72-73-ALT wiring harness is modified to be used with an internally regulated alternator. If you have a factory installed, externally regulated alternator, the original wiring harness and plugs must be reused.

Answer: Technically no. With enough modification, anything can be made to fit anything, however the modification needed to make this harness fit the 73 and later Superbeetles is extensive, and not recommended. To our knowledge, the "complete harness" for these vehicles is not currently in production at this time.

So, what do I do? The only answers to this available currently, are to attempt to either repair the existing harness, build a new one from scratch, or attempt to modify an earlier harness. We do not have instructions or advice as to how this is done. Please be advised that modification to an earlier harness is not recommended as there are no returns on electrical items under any circumstance.
