Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for your comments Paul.  I ended up painting the outside of the orifice with 
"whiteout" making sure not to get any on the inside.  It has help greatly placing the sensor 
right where I want it.  I figured that the "whiteout" would be easy enough to remove if I 
ever needed too.
