Water temp sensor

Ok so...

I have 90 tii. It has the stock harness for an s5. The motor that is In my car must have an s4 keg as it has the bullet style water temp sensor (81-88 w/crush washer). What is the best way to fix this mix match issue? If I can find who sells a connector for the sensor and crimp it that’ll work great but I can’t find who sells them. Or if there’s a Mazda sensor that’s an M8 x 0.75 with blade prong even better.

Thanks for any help

Update.

It looks like the 79-80 Rx7’s used the same size temp sensor with a blade connector




we’ll see how this goes. Costs about $30 with shipping from rock auto

So the older temp sensor didn’t work. Call me crazy but both list sizes are M8 x 0.75. Anyway this is exactly what we did.
