Gauging interest...pun intended, Semi-custom wired Wide Band O2 meter, AFR Options

[Mark Henry]

I'm making up several 14point7 SLC free 2, WB O2 meters for customers and myself and just wondering if this would be of interest to the brotherhood.

Problem with most O2 meters is the wire harness, most of the time they are just a bit short for a clean rear/mid engine install. The wires are often cheaper quality loose wire covered with the Chinese finger puzzle like plastic sheathing.
I'm using a high quality sheath, twisted, 6 wire with shrink wrap tubing on the ends, for the main harness.

Mark,

I had always read 10 to 2 o clock?

Mark,

10 or 2 o'clock, basically 45 degrees.
It's the best position for fully draining the sensor tip of moisture.

If you look at the tip it has a bunch of holes around the tip and a bigger hole in the tip center. The center hole goes nowhere, it's the little holes that needs to drain. Straight up at 12 o'clock the tip can hold moisture in it like a little cup, at 3 o'clock moisture will lay in the sensor. Sitting at a 45* then you are sure both the tip and body drain.

Moisture will/could cause thermal shock as it heats up.
