Dave, you asked:

<< What is this float? Any pictures of it anywhere (outside of the
Bentley)? Replacements available? Any ideas how to rig up a custom-made
replacement?...I thought of getting some of that industrial
packing-material stuff, that white hard foam material and cutting out a
float that would work. How to attach it to the magnet? Don't want to glue
it, that would taste nasty in the water...Suggestions welcome. >>

   You're on the right track.  When my float took on water and sank, I
glued it back together.  Then I cut a strip of Styrofoam from a coffee
cup and  used a rubber band to hold it onto the float.  It's not an
elegant solution, but it works for me.
