Low profile Thermostat for PTC element install

[Fcon_Vpro]

Does anyone have advice on low profile thermostat options for geyserwise ptc element installs that don't have the full geyserwise setup?

I currently have a kwikot geyser and I've installed the ptc element, geyserwise flange and thermostat tube.
The thermostat i have is the standard kwikot one that plugs into the standard spiral element, so there are terminals that are basically in the way of a flush fit into the thermostat tube.

The main issue is I can't close the geysers plastic protective cover over the element and thermostat, so they are a bit exposed to the elements at the moment because my geyser is mounted outside.

First prize is to get a thermostat that fits better.
Alternatively, I'll have to make a custom cover to fit better.

Well give a summary of the solution.
My assumption ptc element don't need an thermostat ( looks like im wrong)

Ptc are still like normal elements but are supposed to be more efficient. So far the element has been performing well but I'm not sure if there was something else wrong with my old element.
But so far so good
