       Dylan, the generic Bosch one will work as long as it has three wires 
and the same threads.  You will need to splice your old plug to the new 
sensor.  You must solder the connections and stager them so they are not in 
the same spot next to one another to prevent signal leakage between the 
wires.  You must cover the soldered connections with heat shrink tubing then 
cover the entire three wire harness with a good flexible wire sheathe.  The 
wires and all connections must be waterproof.  Little bit of work but saves a 
few bucks
