only problem there is that I would have to cut and resplice most of the wires - - - what do you think about this idea? Getting some real thin aluminum flat stock, painting it to match the cream white and then sheet metal screwing it to the two lips and therefore the wires will be semi-enclosed behind that piece of aluminum. All I need is a piece 2.5" tall and 24" wide and it wouldn't be interfering with anything once screwed down?????

or just get another piece of that black plastic conduit, slip those wires into it, use electric tape to secure it to the wires and call it a day.....it's inexpensive, offers protection, keeps things neat and will never be seen when the radiator is back in place....
