Here is what I am using.  It is sold by XKs Unlimited (SKU: 09-0160)    =20

It is a modern thermostat but is retrofitted with a skirt to function just l=
ike the bellows type. =20

It is based on a design I discussed here probably almost 20 years ago.  The o=
nly difference from stock for a TR is it is a 160 degree instead of 185.   B=
ut in the tropics of Florida, this is likely perfect. =20
