NSW Digifant Coolant Sensor adaptor for 16V conversion

[mikinoz]

So BBM have recently discontinued the adaptor that is used to space out the temp sensor so that it does not foul on the 16V intake when you convert from an 8V.

I have an issue where there is no way to disconnect the sensor for lack of clearance.

Has anyone got any ideas on how I would get around this predicament?
