I have two optical sensors without magnetic mounts. I want to use them with magnetic mounts. I going to use them for my ATO. Neptune doesn’t sell the mag mounts or the mount that comes with the top off kit separately as spares.

Does anyone know who might make a magnetic mount?

Kinda weird Neptune doesn’t market spare parts for their systems and accessories. what Happens if day a covering on magnet gets compromised, I mean that never happens right, you have to buy a new optical sensor just to get a new mount.
 
I know there is a company that sells mounts separately I have bought them at my local fish store. I can remember the name of the manufacturer
but Neptune or someone is selling them ( the sensors) with mounts
here is one at BRS

Thank you. I know you can buy a new sensor with a new mount. But I have three brand new sensors, two of them I don't have mounts for. I'm trying to find just the mount. I just think it odd Neptune doesn't sell parts. No big deal, just kinda odd.

I think there may be a workaround using a magnetic problem holder though if I can't find the sensor mount.
