Default hiding wires into the throttle body

I srerched but couldn't find any tips. I did a stage I air kit and now the wires going into the throttle body are showing...Any of you folks have a tip on covering them up?

I used Monstermile's idea and used the plate from the heavy breather

Dawg has done it again! Got to hand it to you, by the way is that a new air box cover too?

Best,

I'll grab the pn# for ya. Right now I'm off teaching and not in a position to do so. The plate is the backing piece that comes with the SE heavy breather. Monstermile originally had me break down the kit contents for him as he wanted to do this, but he wasn't happy with it because there was a gap, so I ended up buying the plate off him. I used two other HD gaskets and there is no gap. It works fine and looks great by hiding the wires. The AC cover is the black round cover from the Crossbones and on top of that is my Police Commemorative Collection AC cover insert.

Is that a breather head kit also? The tubes that are where the breather bolts in the heads are? My A/C kit leaks motor oil out of the filter, wondering if this would get rid of that. Thanks

Not a kit per se, but basically the same. I made it by drilling and inserting NPT to ****** fittings and then running hoses from them down to a ****** tee fitting and then down to the ground. The original holes behind the filter were tapped and I inserted set screws with red loctite to plug the holes.
