Well, actually its for an Oceanic/Excellerator drive but I dont think theres any difference, and I need two of them btw
 
For sure i have them, got a piccy? I see youre asking on lemon too.

Have not got it in front of me at the moment but im assured they are the same as 1541's, i'll open one up later and take a snap or two. Very interested btw!
 
No pics im afraid but im told a 1541 alps sensor should do the trick if you have any of those?
 
Received a few says ago cheers!!

Unfortunately I dont think they fit, well not without a bit of bending here and there, I was sure they were the same, anyway, heres a pic of the dilemma im in.

At Q6 a resistor has been fitted where the sensor ought to go, the sensor Exilent sent is to the right on a small PCB, any suggestions are more than welcome!

Solder on some flexible wires to the legs and then insulate each individually with heatshrink. Then you should be able to solder the sensor in and manipulate it and glue into place without shorting anything else out.
 
found a pic of sensor and schematic
