M18x1,5 is the same thread as a lambda sensor. Might help with sourcing one?

M18 x 1.5 is the same a spark plug, so if you have a spare cylinder head, then you could just trim it down leaving 4 nice nuts.

Edited to say: obviously not the blackbird cylinder head which will be much smaller.

I have a M18 x 1.5 tap if you are desperate and two M16 nuts I can tap out for you If it helps.
