Top Rad Sensor

Hi all, does anyone from Ottawa/Hull area have the plug/sensor (the one for low coollant on top of the rad with a wire,right beside the rad cap)f or sale off an old rad. This is for a second gen 1987 N/A. Mine is broken and I just don't want to put a bolt there. In any case if I need to put a bolt, does anyone know the dimensions of that bolt until, I can find a sensor.
Also can I get this at mazda if I can't find anything here.

Any advise/help is apprciated

regards
Pete

If the the wire pulled out you can pull the rubber off, and solder a new wire on, and use a bullet connector to connect it.

ok man, I understand now, the part your showing is the one going to the wire.

broken? the wire or the plastic.
if the wire broke off close to the plastic it might be hard to solder on a
new wire.
if you have to order a new one get one for a 83 rx7 the price is half
that of the 86 up.

You can pull all the plastic out, and fill it with RTV, this is working for me.
