godspeed radiator install question/problem

Hey guys, been a while, got a quick question about the godspeed radiator for those who have them. I'm currently attempting to install mine into my s5 but the level sensor bung is the wrong size. Does the earlier s4 level sensor use the same size threads(i could just change sensor) or is there some type of adapter I'm going to need with it? The s5 sensor is smaller and slightly finer thread than the bung on the radiator. Any info out there?

Looks like the simplest solution right now is drilling and tapping the larger bung that came on the radiator. Trouble seems to be finding some place that sells an m12x1.25 tap Probably have to order one at fastenal or something.

All 2nd gens use the same low coolant sensor- the only difference is in the electrical connector.
My S5 sensor screwed right into the Godspeed I received.
