What to do with overheat sensor wires

[B-Roy]

My ADA head is on its way, and Im just wondering if I can just cut the wires off flush at the box?

Or should I leave them an inch long or so, and cap/seal the open wires.

Open up the Ebox and unplug the sensor. Wrap the ends inside the Ebox with electrical tape and reassemble. If for some reason you go back to a stock head to sell, you'll be able to do such.

I went for the "clean look" with my turf, and countersunk my bolts.

So I dont feel like rdoing my turf, so is cutting it alright?

Hmmm. Can you just drill out the turf over the bolts? Honestly, I would think you're going to need access to the Ebox aside from the overheat sensor. No? If you don't feel like doing it that way, cut it, and shrink wrap each end separately.

All you need to do is unbolt the ebox from the brackets using the 2 nuts on the inside. Don't worry about the bolts under the turf.

You may have some corrosion between the ebox and studs, but I found an awesome way of getting past that. Check out my tip for removing the ebox:

Open e-box and cut the wires on each side of the plug.:woot:

Yep, then fill your grommet with silicone. Also heard its a good idea to cover your e-box gasket with water-proof grease.
