We are having a devil of a time figuring out a good way...

Can anyone offer a suggestion?

thanks
My recommendation is to mount the sensor on a piece of circuit board stcok. Radio shack has a variety of prototyping circuit boards that are prepunched and can be easily cut to size. Make the board larger than needed for the sensor. Make a small bracket from thin aluminum stock with a slot for adjustment. Mount with a screw, near the gear of interest and adjust as needed.
