I got the same (5K) sensors from Bruce at Audiconnection 
(sales at audiconnection.com) for the same price, +/- a few cents.  Sure 
would appreciate more info re relocating the (for lack of a more 
correct term,) plug bracket.  I can't even see the bleedin' thing.

Is the O2 sensor plug on the same bracket?
