dissassemble the old one, (drill rivets,pry tabs etc) unwind nichrome wire, if it's broke at one end , rewind it spread out a little (it won't be exact but they never are). Use any other sender from junkyard for replacement wire, use the same amount of resistance (check both with ohmmeter),maybe you'll have to wind it tighter or looser to get same resistance value spread over the same travel of contact.Reassemble. If you found a source of new wire first, you've just "restored" an old part!
