E85 sensor mounting

However, once I installed it, I wasn't happy with how the lines wanted to rest and how they naturally wanted to lay since they are braided lines. I also didn't love that the lines would change the plastic over time. I'm not so sure how they got the stock fuel lines to bend around the back of the motor in a way that it nicely positions the sensor like that and doesn't move.
So I had mine zip tied to the vacuum line with some rubber fuel line around it to keep it from chafing anything near it. Worked? Yes. Looked like ***? IMO also yes.
It didn't take long to find a cheap Amazon E85 sensor mount out of aluminum. Once I got it I realized there are no easily accessible studs/bolts to use so after seeing a setup from @Damnit, Laverty it triggered an idea for me to do the following.
Ordered a cheap but well built rivet nut tool kit
Made a new hole in the bracket.
trimmed the access material off the bottom eliminating the second original hole.
Made sure to mount the rivet nuts between a coil pack body and the hump in the valve cover itself.
trimmed away the insulation around the rivet nuts under the coil pack cover
zip tied the stock fuel line up to a wiring harness against the firewall
Mucho bettero:
