One of the things I have been messing with for the last 6 months is 3D printing. I decided to design and print my sensor mount out of PLA plastic. The advantage of 3D printing is that I can make almost any small plastic part I would ever want, the disadvantage is that the PLA plastic is that it gets soft at temperatures at or above 60degC. So I have to be careful if where I use it. For the flap position sensor, I don't believe there to be an issue. As well, once I have the mount design I can easily print it in any number of various materials including those with higher heat ratings, and carbon fiber infused filaments. Thankfully Ray Allan Company provides excellent CAD drawings for the sensor.
I then could spend some time and work out the best angle for the sensor basically by printing a number of different prototypes and try each. I finally settled on a mount angle of 17deg. As well, I opened up the mounting holes in the sensor to allow for a #6 screw/bolt.
