I got 2 of these heads from ScaraB in Belgium a couple of month ago. I know
a place in Belgium is not going to help you a lot but:

The guy at the counter when I asked for heads specifically for a fuel
injected T3 was clueless. Then I told him the specs: valve diameter ... and
the need for a thread for the sensor, he said : no way, unavailable!!
And then I got him to show me a standard (Brazilian made)c*x head, and it
turned out all of standards 1600 cc heads he is selling have the thread for
the sensor. At least you know for sure that there no scarce (at least in
Brazilian quality).
I checked, back home, they are actually identical to my original heads, as
far as I can tell. 

Let me know if I can help further on that.

Bernard.

PS: c*x stands for cox or coccinelle.
