You can run the Moss blanking sleeve with a thermostat.
I had cut away the blanking sleeve except for the part necessary to cover the
bypass port. I ran it with a 180 degree fail-open thermostat and 2 Moss rubber
gaskets, one of which had the hole slightly enlarged to accommodate the
increased thickness of the thermo plus blanking sleeve.
Separately I had bought the BCS 160 degree robertshaw with soldered ring
blanking sleeve. I modified this by replacing the t-stat with a 180 degree
robertshaw with their ring soldered on. I'm now using that because the
robertshaw has a much larger opening than the Moss fail-open.

The blanking sleeve has a small lip that sits in the same recess as the
thermostat. ?Not sure both the blanking sleeve lip and a thermostat together
will fit and seal the cover correctly.Mike MacLean

I wonder if you could combine this with a "standard" thermostat to
approach the original with the sleeve?
