Default Need some help...

Ok so Ive got my long tubes on now and I have 2 questions.

1. Can I cut and sodder some wires in to extend my o2 sensors so they will reach, will they still read correct?

2. My steering shaft were the swivel is is now making slight contact with one of my primaries. Im thinking of taking the shaft out and grinding the swivel down a bit so it wont hit, if that dosnt work can I put a slight ding in the primary where its making contact, will that hurt anything? Thats my last resort but im curious?

YES BUT MAKE SURE YOU USE SODDER. THINK OF THEM AS FREE ELECTRONS.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO. EITHER GRIND OR BUMP, DOESn'T MATTER.

Yea, the nuckle on the shaft hits it every time I turn and puts resistance on the wheel[:@]. What do you mean by free electrons??? So the solder will be fine?
