I did the same thing while replacing some lines.....not terribly expensive to buy a new one, but aggravating. After I completely cleaned and degreased the broken thermostat, I progressively cut it on my buffing wheel with finer and finer polish and rouge until it looked like it had been chromed. Then I found a wooden trophy-type base, stained and varnished the base and then mounted the beautiful polished thermostat. I put more effort into this project than the oil lines that I was replacing.
