o2 housing install- sensor now hitting AC line?

Not sure why but the o2 housing i purchased has the o2 bung welded near the DP and so when bolted up it hits the AC line. Anyone has this problem on their o2 housing? I am wondering if i can just bend the line a bit i guess...

most o2 housings have the o2 sensor bung welded here...


my bung is welded near the base of the o2 housing near where the DP connects.

what o2 housing did you get james? ive never seen one with the bung where you describe it. id assume you can just bend the line as long as you dont kink it though. still, id be weary of a poorly designed o2 housing

I don't think I've seen an O2 housing posted on here with the bung welded where you're describing. I can see where it would cause a problem in the position you're describing. That's strange.

Speaking of o2 housings, where is a good place to get the gaskets for an aftermarket housing?

Maybe it was one of those first batches I remember people having issues with.
