I mounted the sensor in the flowmaster merge, and ran the wire up under the passenger seat. this allowed me to keep the electronic unit in the car and reduce its exposure to the elements.

I used this grommet from Mr Gasket for valve covers as it has to fit over the sensor.

The sensor comes up right where all the electrtic seat wires come up through the carpet. so I make a small cut in the front right for the wires to go back down and they follow the floor along the outside near the kick panel and come up on the right side behind the kick panel.

I ran the gound for the blue/white wire to the back of the head and the cal ground to a stud under near the battery. I bought this fuse panel
so I could control power, gnd and accessory power. I hate trying to find good power and grounds when I wire stuff. I lucked out as it all fit on the back side of the glove box, this made for a clean install.

I designed it so it could stay mounted yet go in to a stow position this way I could black box data log. Or loosen it and it will remove and just leave a small ball near the console.

Don't get me wrong, I do like your use of Euro terminal board, makes all the wiring neat/tidy...:cheers:

I'm simply amazed at the alternate uses of rubber grommets...:cheers:...

(... as a kid I liked the box/packaging better than the contents... :D ...)

European terminal board?
Are you talking about the 'chocolate block'?

I'm at work and can't see my photos, the european terminal board is the white terminal strip the wires go in.

I was just being funny anyway. I think the chocolate block if its the item on the right, it a relay. It provides the accessory power to the fuse block when the key is on.

Yeah....I know what you're talking about. I was just being 'funny' . Lol!
Never heard it specifically called a European terminal board.
Here (being an electrician) we call them 'chocolate blocks' because they typically remind us of a block of chocolate that you can just snap sections off. The older style...more so than that style.
