You can also cut the mushroom head off of the stock sensor, toss that part and tap the remaining piece of it for 1/8" npt. You don't need to even drill it. Just insert the tap and start cutting threads.

Doing the Trochoid idea you just tap the threads you want (in the cutoff original sender) and install a tee from Home Depot or Brasstite so you can use your old sender and the new one or whatever.
