i guess i have to ask why you cant slip a fire sleeve over this fitting and
the wire and use hose clamps to hold it in place. if the sleeve protects
gasoline in a rubber line it should work with these fittings. these fittings
are very compact and easy to work with and sorry to say dirt cheap.

Bill and others,
IMHO, I went thru the same thing several years ago. I changed my
heater box for the same reason. I now have stainless steel in place of
the aluminum unit. I went to the aviation section of McMaster Carr and
bought a stainless steel handicap grab bar. It was a short unit but it
worked out very nice, the flange is welded on and I used the 90* end.
This allowed me to get all the wires forward. It is amazing how many
wires go there from the instrumentation we use today. I then used two
fire shield lengths / diameters to close off the opening. I am going to
fill any remaining space with RTV copper hi-temp silicone today. I will
use safety wire to provide the remaining squeeze to seal it wiring to the
fire shield. You can see it on my web site
www.websites.expercraft.com/jimn . That may help you in the decision to
keep the unwanted stuff up front and not on your feet.
