Just wanted to make sure my harness length was good. How's wideband O2 length?

I mounted my box and relays behind the glove box. I made a little drop down bracket to hold everything.

I have a nice little void where the air bag used to be. I wondered if I had enough harness to mount it along the tunnel on the passenger side (below the radio/heater controls).

Behind the glovebox on my AC evaporator blockoff plate.

harness length is fine...just make sure you put it thru the firewall where it'll reach everything...some of the connectors are short...

Mine is hidden in the passenger kick panel. At first I was afraid it might overheat because its in such a tight space, but it has been doing ok so far.

OK new question, what about the factory harness hole? It looks like it's gonna be too small for that big *** grommet. Kinda hard to get to the hole to waller it out.

I used the factory hole I used a die grinder to make it larger and the gromet that came with the BS3 fit perfect it's tight getting the PCM plugs thought there, but I got it LOL! Also I had to move the gromet on the harness to get it to run like I wanted etc...And it fits right behind the kick panel also.
