With the CHT gauge setups I've used, its not the sendor that is the
expensive part. It is the CHT gauge. The actual sensor is like $10.
You can get a complete VDO Gauge & sendor kit for around $60
from places like CB.

Since complete kits start at around $60,
personally, I wouldn't mess with trying to rig up something that used
the stock sendor because due to its design and sensing location
(you want to measure the temp at the spark plugs) you won't
get any sort of true representation of how hot things really are.
