Bob: I have some elmwood sensors with about a 5/8 in hex and a 6-32 stud protruding from a flat surface beneath the hex for mounting. If yours has a curved face where the stud normally is placed, can a curved part be threaded onto the stud to provide the sensing surface? If Elmwood is no help, there is another company that makes parts that mimic nearly everything that Elmwood makes. I can look up their info if you like, but it sounds like your Elmwood parts are custom, in which case you will need a custom replacement. I don't think Elmwood ever made any standard or stock sensors...
