Need a Good Idea for Mounting O2 Sensor Wire on Electromotive Setup

I'm looking for any good ideas for mounting the O2 wiring on my Electromotive Setup.

See pic below: The oxygen sensor that came with this kit has a very short wire and then a huge connector that has to be mounted in the driver side rear wheel well. I hate the way this particular system is setup as it would have much easier if the wiring on the sensor end was longer than 1 foot.

That said:
1) anyone have a good idea or know of a good bracket that I can use to mount this better?
2) Is it possible for me to buy another oxygen sensor with a longer wire and eliminate the huge connector that came with this setup?

Wiring that I need to mount securely:


Sensor & Controller (excluding the gauge): I have mounted the controlled at the rear fuse box where CDI used to be:

Vern,

I was not impress by the short leash either.

On the engine tin (skirt) I cut the hole (by #1 spark plug) open, put a grommet around the cable and squish it in the holes. I may have had to enlarge the hole.

Made the connection between #1 and #2 spark plugs.

If the cable was longer I could have hide the connectors behind the fuse cover.

Engine tin grommet the sensor can pass through is what I did as well.
May have had more length on the Bosch O2 sensor that came with my innovate unit.

Thanks Guys!

I will work on this a bit. I initially drilled the hole in my tin to be equal to where the hole is on the Carrera's but at the time, I did not notice the short O2 wires. I may just have to start over.
