Ya know.... an easy way to add a sensor is make a metal pipe to put in your upper rad hose. The just weld a bung to it. Done.

• In the case that the thermostat sticks shut (or partially closed), I won't know I have a problem
  
• Cutting into the radiator hose to install the adapter adds two full hose-circumference areas of potential leaks

having the sender in the top half of the T-stat housing means you're reading temps AFTER the thermostat. In the rare situation that the thermostat sticks closed, your coolant gauge will be reading cold/normal temps, while your engine will actually be massively overheating. Not what I wanted.

There is a very good reason Mitsubishi put their coolant temperature sensor in the BOTTOM of the thermostat housing, before the thermostat, and not after it.
