Default Billet coolant expansion tank question

I want to install a billet expansion tank on my Grandsport, I saw that moroso made one, but I'd does not have a connection for the factory coolant sensor. Do they make something that allows me to replace the ugly plastic unit and retain the factory sensor.

Might help to post two pics; one of the Grandsport setup and one of the Moroso unit.

This is the only one I found, and it does not use coolant sensor. I was just wondering how are people using this without the sensor, or if they make one with a sensor.

What are you referring to when you say "factory coolant sensor"? There is no coolant level sensor if that is what you mean. If coolant temperature rises at an unusually fast rate, the system concludes that the coolant must be low and displays a message.

The description says it, that's why I was wondering.

Did you look to see what the differences between the Moroso unit and what's in your Grand Sport? Think a pic of the GS unit will help...

Can you take a picture of the sensor that you mention on your Grand Sport factory coolant tank?

Why would they put this in the description, that's what threw me off. I haven't seen even removed the stock one yet, so I'm not sure if it as a sensor or not, going by the description on the moroso tank.

That's a good question for Moroso. Maybe they just copied the description of this part from one of their other tanks and either mistakenly overlooked that statement or intentionally left it in there to cover their ***.
