Hi yah Don,

 From what I recall there isnt one around in production, though the gas
analysers of the old days had a usable sensor that needed recal each
1000 or so hours of use.

In the absence of a Lead fuel o2 sensor, if, that is, someone is looking
to run on avgas to reduce pinging - maybe because its comparatively
cheaper locally or easiest to get with high octane, then there are a couple
of ways around - though it would help to know just why avgas is on the
agenda ?

I'd suggest run a lead free fuel through the same engine but choose that
fuel for most equivalent energy and octane rating as avgas, tune the
engine as well as possible for the requirement, power or economy.

Then remove the O2 sensor and run it on avgas,

Is a cat involved - I guess not... ?
