If a few inches of vinyl insulation doesn't terrify you, consider an extension made with ribbon cable & 2 displacement type connectors. Those are the type you typically see on ribbon cables inside older computers, tying all the various components together.

Hi Bob,

The only way I can see getting the connector any tighter might be to
build a short extension without backshells, then plug into that.  I'm
not sure how bad of an idea that would be.  The first concern would be
reliability since there wouldn't be any protection for the wires if the
cable got pulled on.

Bob White, or anyone with advise,

I would like to find an adaptor of some kind to get a lower profile on my EC2. I had the 90 degree end installed, but it still takes up over 2" of space. In my case it will hit the fuel tank. I can modify the tank if necessary. But if it was as simple as plugging a low profile adaptor, that would be the thing to do.
