Bed thermistor ripped off... recommend you check yours!

I had read in Prusa's blog about some users having their bed thermistor rip off due to the spiral wrap around the bed wires, but it seemed so theoretical and unlikely... until my thermistor ripped off and caused a bed thermal runaway in the middle of a long print. 🙁 Fortunately the thermistor itself seems to still be ok, just got ripped out of the foil & kapton tape.

Prusa mentioned switching to a braided sleeve... is this something support will provide or do I have to find my own? If I have to supply my own, what is the correct size? Will the heatbed terminals and thermistor connector fit through a 1/4" sleeve? Thanks.

I would contact prusa support anyways just to check but I think this post https://shop.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3-f30/braided-loom-pics-t13858.html#p63995 answers your question for sizing.
