Water temp sensor wiring

[MYBAD79]

I added some "bling" with a $10 vacuum advance hose kit from the "Zone":

I filed this #10x32 nut down to fit tightly inside the fake AN hose end:

This is what the stock temp sensor looks like, #10x32 threads with two nuts and a lock washer:



I ran the wire thru the stainless braided hose and removed the insulation from the last inch so there's 1" exposed wire inside the braided hose (did not take a photo0 :banghead:
With the wire in the hose the #10x32 stud fits tightly inside the hose.

Here's what it looks like now:

I like that. I don't have a lot of bling on my engine and was thinking about doing something similar to that for both sensors (temp and TCS). The wires hanging there just looks a bit sloppy to me. But I haven't found the right solution yet.

No offense guys, I never did much about 'bling on my engine, car either for that matter, guess I have nearly zero artistic flair.....

more like artistic flare.....
