I REALLY,, really like the way you've made extension cables, rather than simply extending the wiring on the sensors, the way I did mine.

Would you mind posting where you found the connectors for each end? OR catalog / part numbers for them? I think I'll do this if I ever need to change the o2 sensors.

Thank you!
Here's the part numbers I used to hunt the connectors:
Bosch 1-928-403-453
Bosch 1-928-403-736

Each cable needs one of each plug.

I purchased these from UK, since I'm in Finland (no customs etc issues) - at least untill the brexit kicks in
Here's the link where I ordered those both connectors:
https://www.auto-click.co.uk/1928403453
Same can be purchased from all continents.

On top of the cables I have the white 8mm heat resistant sleeve. This size fits real well ove the wires.

Hopefully this is helpful

Pilot4fn, What gauge wire did you use for these extension cables?

maytag, the cable I used is 18 gauge or 1mm size automotive wire (RS Pro 1225866 - 1mm)
I will change the headers and sports cats to replace the originals in roughly a week from now Monday - so I have not yet installed the extension. I do not want to take a chance to break the header bolts... Local Indy will change the header bolts, headers and pipes all the way to the moffler :dance:
I'll report how this all works after the change is done.
