    I re-wired my '61 bus with a harness from WireWorld, and l'm so glad l did. The wires all are color-coded so they replace the original wiring EXACTLY. Now, everything works exactly as it should. No more chasing electric gremlins! The old wires were stiff and very brittle and had TONS of resistance. So happy l did it.

    Thanks for this video. My 73 bus needs to be rewired, and this convinced me to get the rebel kit.

    Thanks. I've always wondered how they install the wiring harness in the beetles and Superbugs.

    hey! I just got a 63 beetle and I'll have to redo the wiring. What wire set is the one you used called? and how do I find it? your link doesn't work anymore sadly.

    Hey there, how. Did you wire the starter? Did you run the red + to the starter and then have another connection from starter to the battery + post?

    My car is my daily driver. Is there a way to wire it a little at a time. Switching from old to new in small chunks? so it can be done on a few weekends? So it will still function?

    • @chaseperformance4538
      @chaseperformance4538  Год назад +1

      Honestly no.
      There is a risk to safety in doing that both to you and other drivers.
      This harness requires a full installation as it functions differently from the OG equipped harness.

    I must have missed it, but what year is your bug? I'm currently rewiring my 73.

    Is there room for expansion? Say someone wanted to install a modern engine, would there be enough “room” to do so?

    • @chaseperformance4538
      @chaseperformance4538  2 года назад

      Yes.
      There are a few spots that can be easily used for expansion.
      For example.
      There is a fan circuit that could be used for ECM power.

    How many hours did it take to complete the whole thing?

    • @chaseperformance4538
      @chaseperformance4538  2 года назад +2

      It’s hard to calculate the total hours it took with this specific installation since I was unable to devote time to the car in a timely fashion. I can tell you from previous installs that I’ve done with this harness that it took me around 4 days total.
      My last rebel installation was on my 70 Westy. I drove the bus into the garage on a Saturday, had it totally stripped in a day, and had the new harness installed and completed by the following Sunday. I worked on it over two weekends.

    For someone who is learning and has almost no knowledge on things like this.how would I figure out where each wire goes? Is there instructions you can find?

    • @chaseperformance4538

      Yes.
      The instructions are very thorough and Rebel is VERY responsive to emails!
