Subject: Re: Thermostat
I was not able to get the brass part out of the aluminium elbow and did not want to destroy anything.

Thanks to the helpful photos I reconstructed it "in situ". I heated it with a hair-dryer until the remaining part of the pin moved out, then soldered a short tube on it and finally a saucer shaped brass disc. It is now at a position that it starts to open at 45Celsius and is fully open at 60Celsius
