Default Broke my plastic on my interior air temp sensor...

I removed my knee bolster to put in my new hyperflash unit and broke the brittle plastic of my interior air temperature sensor. A cursory look around the used market has gougers charging anywhere from $70 to $120 for a replacement.

The thermistor is undamaged, so it's sitting in the hole in my dash... working well. Also broke the little grill's thin, cheap retaining tab. Replacement there is like $14, repro from China.

Anybody know anyone who has an air temp sensor for a reasonable price?

I’ve got the little grill covered - I need the interior ambient air sensor behind it.

Vette Nuts is out of stock. Plus, $80! Ouch!
