Replacement Coolant Temperature Sensor
Checked on line with all auto parts stores, none carry identical sensor. The ones that do list a sensor for my vehicle show a sensor with a different configuration, one that does not look like it would work on my van. The one on my van has the threads on the end with no protruding post. I believe the threaded end is a 3/8in diameter. Connecting end has two posts rather than spades. The closest dealer is in another town.

Two pins. It is the only one I could locate. Some diagrams do show a connection on the front or a sensor located next to the thermostat but that is not the configuration on this van. Those configurations probably do use the more standard sensor with a protruding post.

Replacement for coolant temperature sensor
The only solution, that occurs to me, is to have the hole re-drilled and threaded for a standard sensor with the pigtail, as you suggested. Would that result in metal shavings in the coolant and cause problems? Alternatively, would it be possible to use a coolant hose adapter and why do some find it necessary to re-drill the hole, I'm assuming, in the adapter?
