mechanical thermostat for solar pool heater

I am search of a mechanical thermostat (the type and size one might find in an automobile). The problem is I need a activation range of 100 degrees or so. The type of thermostat found in autos operates in the range above 160 degrees  Anyone have any ideas?

Go to Home Depot and pick up an "upper" electric water heater thermostat. both NO/NC contacts available.  100 - 190 degrees

If you do some testing of the automobile thermostats, you will find that they begin to open at temperatures well below their rating to allow fluid to flow. They are usually open fully at their rating temp. What are you using this for?  A pasteurizer?
