DIY WB update

[rr]

No help on the sensor, can help on the size though. The
O2 sensor uses a standard 18mm spark plug thread. With 
a little work the anti-foulers can be used as a bung. The
part that is cut off can have the hole welded and used to
plug the hole. Or get an old lawn tractor spark plug and
screw that in.

The O2 sensor can be placed anywhere in the exhaust as long
as; 1) the exhaust has NO leaks. 2) there isn't a cat-con.
(for WOT only the cat-con may be OK).
