Excellent write up, Aaron, and very timely for me as Ive just experienced a bit of an electrical incident in my 951. No fire, but things got hot enough to melt the insulation completely off one of my power wires (DME pin 18) and damage quite a few neighboring wires.
Having read through this thread, and exploring some of the links provided, Ive got a couple of questions.
Am I correct in assuming youve abandoned the factory wire colors? I could be wrong, but it didnt seem the vendor you referenced supplied all of the color options to reproduce the harness using factory colors. Assuming this was the case, Im assuming you developed your own schematic unique to your car now?
Any chance you recorded measurements with regard to wire lenghs? This question goes to Dare, too, as my harness will also go into an 86 951. Id like to be able to cleanly cut in mods already installed such as M-Tune and a Zeitronix WB system.
Thanks again for the great write up, and to those who subsequently contributed. I believe I may have found my winter project...

The dimensions in this diagram are lengths between branching points.
Also, see some other notes regarding wire lengths in my Wiring album.

I think the Harness Connector to the DME is the following:

So there may be hope to make this from scratch.
