Speed sensor on brake rotor.

So I ordered some 220mm rotors front and back over the weekend which are getting delivered today. Late last night it dawned on me that the speed sensor is fitted to the rear rotor, I can't remember how exactly but it seems crimped on.
Has anyone changed rear rotor on their Whytes, and if so was refitting the sensor on a new rotor an issue? Tried googling but no luck.
Bike is at home, I'm at work wondering if I've fooked up ?

I thought it was bolted on using one of the rotor bolts ? It has been done before so you should be ok, hopefully you’ll get reply from someone who’s done it, but I know it is possible

Hope you're right mate, can't find a photo anywhere of the speed sensor and how it is fixed.

I fitted Uber bike radiator rotors and did away with the Whyte magnet and instead I bought a 10mm diameter magnet from eBay with a hole in the middle and fixed it with a pop rivet through one of the holes in the rotors and it works fine and I should have mentioned that there is very little chance of it falling off even on the gnarliest of rides ?
