It wouldn't be that hard to do at all. In the meantime however I'm not going to waste precious time fabbing sensor when I can do that when time isn't at a premium.

Also, TTT if your stock harness is still intact (though I doubt it is since it's all going through cannon plugs) you can just make your own and use the stock warning light/buzzer without sacrificing an input/warning.
Even better, just get a 3/8" npt plug, voila.

Really, aftermarket sensor + woromg

or

npt plug, stock sensor
Doesn't make sensor to use a non stock sensor to me.
