this one was removed from the 87 i broke, was going to stick it on ebay but i does not sit straight.
thought i would gently heat the plastic bowl to get it straight but the issue is the original mounting hole is not in the middle, so i guess its been like that since new.
anybody seen that before ?
cheers
Phil

take it off and drill a hole in the center? the washer is large enough to cover both holes.

I don't think the hole being off-center has anything to do with the cant of the assembly: something's warped.

Looks like the plastic may be warped, but that is not part of the sensor, so sell it without the plastic.
