Lewmar Chain Counter Sensor & Magnet Kit Compatibility

Gents, does anyone know if other brands of chain/rode counter sensors and magnets will work with Lewmar? My chain counter is 2007 (part #68000600) isn't counting so I ordered a new kit from Lewmar. The problem is that the kit didn't come with the plastic sleeve that the sensor or reed switch slides into. I destroyed that sleeve and need another one and those can't be located anywhere. I may return this to Lewmar but have a question.

So, one of my options is to find another vendors sensor and magnet kit (like Quick USA for example) that comes with the plastic sleeve (http://www.quickusastore.com/accessories/chain-counters/chain-counter-sensor-kit.html). Do you know if these sensors kits are universal or will work with Lewmar? Lewmar cannot give me a definitive answer but I would think a simple reed switch and magnet should work. Thanks for your help.
 
I ordered the same part number for my 2008 350. It came with the plastic sleeve. You may want to send it back to Lewmar and order from Defender. That's where I found mine.

Thanks for the feedback Alan. You are saving the day! I went ahead and ordered a similar kit from Quick USA Marine. I will install it this weekend assuming it arrives by then and will report back.
 
I went with the newer Lewmar chain counter, much nicer .To make it work the oem reed sensor activates a relay that closes the circuit that feeds the counter
