I found the 160 degree temp too cool for my liking. There are some standard thermostats available that are the correct small diameter (1 1/2 inches), that are packaged by Stant and others that are 185 degree rating. They can be put inside the top hose and butted up against the end of a connector tube to keep them in place, or a short length of stainless tubing can be tack welded to it to make it more substantial. Some have a rubber ring around the outside that has to be removed before use.
