Air Temp sensor thread size

Anyone know the thread size of an air temp sensor from a series 4/5 turbo motor?

I used my stock GSL SE sensor in my project car. The sensor broke somehow & Mazda has discontinued it (found out today). The thread size for this sensor is 1/8" NPT.

Thanks

As I recall it's M11 x 1.0. Very close to 1/8" NPS, but not quite.

And just FYI, if you use that sensor and find your Microtech is reading temperature all wrong, it means that the Microtech left the factory calibrated for a difference sensor (most often GM). Seems to be a common occurrence. Just in case I suggest adding a 3/8" NPT bung on your plenum while it's convenient.
