We've found that simply using the included cable tie with MultiGov to secure the sensor on the 600N frame seems to work well but you have to be a little more precise about bending the sensor. The instructions are below. This should work with other governors too.
For the alternate installation using a bracket+pics, go to our web site at:

SIMPLE BRACKETLESS INSTALLATION
Step 1: To mount the sensor outside the frame, enlarge the fan shroud hole using a Dremel as shown in picture.
Step 2: After you determine which way to bend the sensor, move fan with the magnet to see exactly where the sensor needs to be bent so the magnet runs directly over the sensor. This will typically be farther out than when you mount the sensor on a bracket.
Step 3: Bend the sensor and apply some CA (superglue) over the heat shrink tubing so that the sensor wires essentially glue together.
Step 4: Using the included cable tie, position and secure the sensor right in between the two holes already on the frame. You must make sure that the magnet directly runs under the sensor chip, the governor reads the magnet correctly, and that there is adequate distance between the sensor and fan so they don't hit (approximately 1.5-2 mm). For a more secure mount, add a drop or two of CA between the sensor and the frame after the cable tie has been tightened.
See attached picture for completed installation.
