Sourcing fuel light sender

I'd really like to replace my low fuel light sender (or thermistor as the FSM calls it) but cannot find anyone who sells them, anyone have any ideas where I could get a brand spanker?

Seems a pretty cheap and simple electronic part but the auto sparkys here don't seem to think they can source them.

Here's a photo showing a 4WD and FWD Liberty gauge sender / pump, Low Fuel Light sender assembly complete with the item in question circled:

Gen 2 Liberty is different to above photos. I think - been a while since last taken out of the tank...

Thanks Captain Obvious. For what it costs to replace the whole fuel pump, gauge sender & low fuel lamp sender assembly I'd like to pursue other options though :) $$ouch.

I found one on the internet on this page: http://www.hdk.co.jp/pdf/eng/e023101.pdf

It's just the getting it bit that is hard. :)

How come you want to replace the low fuel unit?

I've noticed at the wreckers where i go a lot of them have been pulled out and they take the contact board off themselves and low fuel unit...

Because my gauge doesn't work properly and it would be nice to have some idea how much fuel is left :) Plus, it's got to be easier and cheaper than replacing the gauge sender...maybe.

I ended up replacing the whole unit, new. Ouch. But it works now :)
