Afaik, the threads on the thermo switches are mostly the same.  You
shouldn't need to order anything special from IAP, any half decent radiator
shop should be able to sell you one.  Or take yours out and bring it along
to any auto parts store.  There's nothing special about this switch that
makes it unique to Alfas.

The rating for these thermo switches is the temperature at which it switches
on or off.
