I want to add a float switch or two to my sump to connect to a breakout box so I can be alerted to certain problems.

All the float switches that I can find only had the threaded end connection on them. Does anyone know where I can buy some kind of magnet mount or plastic clip mount so I can put these things in my tank without having to drill glass or anything crazy like that?

I made my own holders out of schedule 80 1/4 inch PVC and probe holders I got from Avast Marine. I mounted the probe holders to a acrylic cover I made for my sump. The PVC was drilled and taped for threads on the float switches. These is an seal between the float switch and the PCC. These came with the float switches. The first photo shows the float holders in the sump. Then second is the cover they are mounted to.
