Default Fuel Level Sensor Replacement??

Where tf can I find a replacement fuel level sensor for the passenger side sending unit. I've found a replacement for the drivers side but cant for the life of me find a passenger side level sensor. I refuse to spend hundreds of dollars on a entire sending unit if the one I have works fine aside from the fuel level sensor.

for context I have a 2001 Base model (saying this since ive read apparently some come with different level sensors)

NOS are very hard to find. There are a bunch of China crap options on ebay.

yeah ive seen some rough options, im just really dreading the idea of spending $500+ on the entire sending unit rather than just replacing the sensor

I feel your pain. My sensors are acting up even after dumping what seems like gallons of Techron in the fuel. I am not going to fix when they finally stop working. Just going to write down the mileage at fill up and refill at 200 miles. My fix is not for everyone but that is my work around.
