Default Oil Pressure Sender Relocation

I am a new C5 owner an 02 6 Speed, sold my C4 and have had it about a month. LOVE IT! However the oil pressure sender needs replacement. I think I am going to do it myself, but I am considering relocating it to avoid having pulling the intake again when and if it goes bad again. I have done a forum search looking for reference for a parts list (prefer to make my own kit)or purchase a kit to do this, but the one kit I found it appears they don't offer it anymore.

I think if you manage to get another brass sender, you won't be needing to replace it again any time soon.

West Coast Corvettes sells a relocation kit kit that comes with a Buick sensor-the kit is way overpriced($200),as are most Vette accessories,but it DOES work like a charm.
