Ah! Interesting - thank you Dennis :) I have two left heads then, as
the hole also exists on the left side. Are there any issues with
simply putting a bolt in there (to keep out dirt and dust)? If not,
I'll just get a shorter bolt than the one I currently have, and snug
it in there.
Thanks for giving me peace of mind!
Mike.

If not, then install the sensor on that side and extend the wire. There is no problem if you leave the hole empty except a slight loss of cooling air.
