Can this Type 4 85-90C thermostat be used on a 1973 beetle with atype 1 engine?

Can this Type 4 85-90C thermostat be used on a 1973 beetle with a type
1 engine?

VW NOS type 4 bus thermostat 85/90 deg Price: $125 shipped

TIA!

I could remove the threaded fitting from a Type 1 thermostat and
attempt to thread it onto the Type 4 thermostat so it would fit on a
Type 1 engine.
But, if I unscrew that fitting, would it harm the Type 1 thermostat?
I could try heating it up first to make it easier to remove.
I think the heat range would be OK since these were used on
1975-1975 Beetles with Fuel injection.

Have you seen these Type 1 thermostTs listed? Not new but a little
lower in price and no mod needed. I have purchased from this vendor
(awesome powdercoat) and they are a good company that is interested in
quality.

I clicked the link and e-mailed the advertiser.
He said he could ask the factory to make me one that opens at 80-85C.
