Default Temporary O2 Sensor Location

Looking for input on a temporary O2 sensor location to dial in carburetors. I have dry exhaust with the ability to plumb the water away from the tip. I was thinking of using the Innovate clamp shown below and routing the water away with hose. Any potential problems with this configuration?

A guy did a thread here. He essentially hung an O2 sensor on a coat hanger with wires and stuck it a foot or so up the dry pipes. Get wires long enough to reach the cockpit.

Even with your dry setup I don't believe that particular Innovate setup will get the sensor deep enough to stay 'dry'. Like mentioned you may need to use an alternative coat hangar method to get it deeper. Having said that it's only the cost of a wide band sensor to try the exhaust mount you mentioned.

Default Coat Hanger

I’m not understanding the coat hanger concept. Would that put the wires in the exhaust stream?
