Need to Extend O2 Sensor Wire
 
I need to splice an extension wire into my O2 sensor since I installed SSI's on my SC. One of teh guys called for Mil-Spec wire but sourcing seems to be a challenge. Anybod have wire that might fit the bill? How about a heat wrap that I can use to cover the 6 inches exposed by the heat exchangers?

Any help or sources would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Not sure if you must have a specific type of wire to get the airflow that is needed but the generic Bosch replacement O2 sensor comes with quite a long lead on it which solved my length issues when I added headers..

I went and priced the Bosch O2 sensor and the lead wire it came with was about 2 inches long. Not sure which version comes with the long lead. The version of the Bosch O2 sensor I priced came with a crimped connector.
