In Line Water Temp Sensor

Can anyone help me?

I am needing a water temp sensor for my car but due to modifications to the engine (an oil cooler) I cannot fit a standard sensor in the usual position on the engine block. What I have instead is an in-line sensor in the water pipe to the radiator. I have one of 1000 ohm resistance but it is reading way too low on the water temp gauge on the dash console. (Veglia Gauges).

I think I need something of much lower resistance which (if necessary) I could increase with resistors to give me the required gauge reading at operating temperature.

Can anyone recommend anything please?

Many thanks .... Murray Reid
