Clux,
No, I only used the dimensions of the old sensor, and the tiny o-ring from it. It's turned out of a 1/2" bolt.
Tex,
The thickness of the o-ring material is .041". Send another email, the first one never arrived, or send it in a FTE-o-gram. ;-))
I'll post a reduced-size photo of the drawing I scrawled together, but at the small size that attachments must be, it likely won't be readable.
Edit: Hey, that came out better than I thought it would.
Edit: If ya' think about it, that o-ring is overkill, and just contributes unnecessarily to the complexity. If I had to do it over again, I'd leave the o-ring groove out.
Here ya' go!

If you get enough I would like one as well. I know you said you could take no money from anyone on here but I don't mind paying for the product or the time you spend making them. Thanks
P.S. I will also pay for shipping. THX

pop, if you or scott or someone could make those to be sold you could make some money!!! i bet dennis at ITP or a number of other places would pick that up. i mean heck if you could greese the front bearnings for $10 or $20 to buy that thing rather than pulling them apart or worse replacing them....that thing is a total winner, i bet just about any one with an SD would buy one!!...someone needs to get it to maket

Also, the angles, those are 45's correct?
Is the 13/64 drill also the tap drill size for the metric zerk fitting?
Is a metric zerk an absolute must? Can it be a standard thread zerk?
Standard dimensioning on the 3 place decimals (+- .002)?
It will work correctly without the o-ring? Just leave that off?

Yes, the major dimension is 1/2". I turned it from an old 1/2" bolt.
45 degrees is not necessary, any angle will do, I just wanted the size transitions to be smooth.
Any standard zerk will do the trick, and the through-hole and tap should just match whatever you use. I "think" that 1/4-28 is also a zerk thread, and would work just as well. I had metrics, so that's what I used, that's all.
Standard dimensioning tolerances will be just fine. The sizes are what I measured my old sensor to be. The most important of all of them will be the overall length doesn't exceed the .700" in depth down the hole, and the .398" so it will fit into the hole.
The o-ring isn't necessary, and is really "over-kill".
