Got one? Email or PM.

The broken one has been removed. I tried to leave the 'copper' sleeve in, not sure if a new one will come with it. Still looking for one. As a precaution, I ordered this one:

a) Does the 'sleeve' have to be removed entirely?
b) Do these sensor come with a new 'sleeve'? Or, if not: are they just 'pushed in'?
