Default where can I get an O2 sensor to take the plug from?

I need an busted O2 sensor so I can cut the plug off of and use for my wideband setup. I want to mount my wideband (LC-1) to use as a fulltime narrowband on one of the outputs and as a wideband on the other output for tuning. However I need an old sensor to cut the plug off to make it nice and clean when connecting the wideband to the stock harness. Any suggestions? I don't want to buy a new O2 sensor for $50 just for a harness and my rears are already gone.
TIA

I picked up a couple of junk 'vette rear ones off my
mechanic buddy, they seemed to keep falling off the
cars he worked on Nice and long, soldered one up
to the LM-1 output cable (or maybe its Radio Shack
equivalent, I forget). Parts Wanted section?

If you can wait a week, I'll send you a 12" sensor extension and you can cut the end off of it. I used the other extension on my wideband install a few weeks ago and have no use for this one.

Can't really wait a week...I'm moving to VA next weekend. Which wires on the stock O2 plug am I using? I know the switched power supply, ground, and O2 output comes from there but there's a 4th wire too...what is it for? Does anyone know the color codes used on those stock O2 plugs as far as what color stock wire = power, which one is ground, etc.

Just cut the one off thats in there now. You can keep the o2 sensor and just make a new connector up if you need it again...

Unlikely once you have seen the benefits of open loop

Mine is sitting in a bag crying. But Im not going to use it again.

I may just do this considering I would be cutting up my O2 extension and not the stock wiring itself. This just means that if I start the job I have to finish the same day o/w I will be driving w/ only 1 O2 sensor working. Any tips as far as which wire is which on the car side of the wiring?
