Not that I know of. I also didn't Search at all. You could UN wire the wideband sensor. Or unplug if it's not hardwired to the gauge.take some flat steel/ whatever you have and make a piece the same size as the mounting of you're original O2 Sensor. Drill your holes for bolts , skip the wires through and Mount it. Assuming the screw In type is the same diameter of the hole and sits flush.
It's not the ideal way to do it.But if you don't want to weld , it will work. I've done it on a couple different vehicles as the customer didn't want to spend the cash for removal of the old O2 sensor hole. If you've got all the supplies to make it work is free.
If I make no sense I can get you an image.

Really sucks when you can`t weld or don`t have the access to the equipment.
one thought find a piece of pipe big enough to slide over your exhaust .
go over the front and into the back side of the exhaust most auto parts places have or can get one.Have one made by any one with a pipe bender
have the sensor bung welded in remove enough original exhaust slide new piece on 2 clams done
I have seen clamp on bungs but most tend to leak. If they are not installed just right.

Can you not get the sensor with the Toyota style flange.
If you put the sensor threaded into a bung welded to a piece of flat bolted to the pipe would the sensor be to far out of the flow to read correct.
In essence you would be making a flange to bolt to the Toyota style mount.
You should know some one who has a tap that size the correct drill bit.
That way you maybe could use your existing location.

I think I will try and tap and make a flange.

Found this using google http://www.mandrelbendingsolutions.c...-Flange/Detail
may not be good for the Wideband because it will sit too low in the pipe and should sit flush with wall of exhaust.
