Yes that can be done too.
You drill out the internal "Hex" that's used to install/remove the plug and then Tap it.
Then you need to grind the outer (round) plug into IIRC a 17mm so it can be reinstalled into the block.

Had a friend with a machine shop do it for me and it's installed in my 86.5 "onion" car, front most hole.

I actually don't think the selection between 1/2 ground/signal matters since it is a piezoelectric effect and not inherently polarized. You would think Porsche would have just picked a configuration and stuck with it across years though...
