Water temp sender for 1098 engine

Hello chaps, has anyone got or knows where I can buy a water temp sender
unit for my 1098 cylinder head. I understand that one for a early mini will

in anticipation, Keith, Classicsfan.

Thanks bmcecosse I think the engine out again maybe the best way.
I had been trying to think of a way to wedge the nuts.

Hello, need some advice please. I am trying to take the gearbox out.
