It's made of unobtainium in short you might be lucky on eBay ---£100 believe it or not or try a breaker for one ---- but the part unavailable 🙄

Well this seemed to work fine! I used the existing sensor bracket and drilled out the alloy pad that touches the pipe, replacing directly with the thermistor. Then 2 x 1.5mm holes through to the collector pins and poked the thermistor legs through. Heated the pins with soldering iron and touched a bit of solder on the legs to join them together.

Nanocom shows a reading now and no faults. Happy with that!
