Need SMALL IR sensor for remote control

Hello All -
I've got a preamp with a 3/16" drilled through a 3/8" faceplate, which is in front of steel chassis. I'm wanting an IR sensor that can fit thru the hole so that it sticks out the front of the faceplate, and can be reached by the remote control from a wide angle range. Problem is, most IR sensors are mounted onto a little "block" that won't go thru the hole.
Does anyone know of a sensor that can be slipped into a 3/16" hole and advanced up to the front of the faceplate? I would be VERY appreicaitive for any leads!
Thanks, Peter S.
