What model is your bike? the external pump types are a bit of an issue. No new units available and the old units tend to go High resistance when they get old. The thermistor is easily available but almost impossible to replace and the methodology for it retention is quite fiddley and more complex then it appears. Old units also have a habit of being impossible to get to reseal 100% once they have been removed. I have replace my sensor with a blanking plug until I get a chance to manufacture a new aluminium and HDPE probe holder. The thermistor is no issue to source but you also need fuel proof wiring and potting compound. I have a design and materials but need some spare time. Here is one thermistor option although a rip off cost wise. Strangely even the Chinese ebay equivalents are really expensive as well although if you by them in bulk from a Chinese manufacturer they are literally a $1.20 each or something. https://www.npdlink.com/product/sensor-low-fuel-level-warning-sensor-mounted-to/107413 Phil

Can't you just use the innards of the old switch with the casing from the new one? Or do you not want to risk trying to take it apart again? I had one damaged by a vandal whilst the bike was parked. Got a replacement and broke the casing trying to get it apart, got another replacement and successfully took it apart. The innards I'm using are the original ones from the V11. They had to be, because the second replacement had a different switch in it. From an Aprilia Scooter, S50, I think. Very cheap on E-Bay second hand. The switch had only two contacts rather than four, but the housing is identical. Getting the switch apart was not that hard on the second go, after messing it up the first time and then thinking about what I did wrong.

2 and 3 are the lower cylinders. Unlike every radial I've dealt with it doesn't burn or leak oil. What's up with that? No idle cutoff, idled at 1000 rpm per the manufacturer's instructions during taxi back, and idled for a few seconds at 600 before shutdown. Unleaded auto fuel 90 (US) octane, no alcohol.
