I think I'll go ahead and give the Lectric sensor a try. It seems to have the best reviews and I'd like to keep the gauges as functional as possible.

The discrepancy on the thread is strange, but I guess the thread pitch in the end doesn't really matter, as I will chuck this new sensor up in the lathe and turn it down to LS specs (M12x1.5) to make it fit directly in the LS head. It worked well on the previous build and since it now uses a sealing washer, it keeps the ground path cleaner and eliminates the potential leaks and need for PTFE paste.
