Atwood water tank thermostat broken

So, I have what I believe is at 6 gallon Atwood elec/propane hotwater tank from the 1995 era...
I was gutting my trailer and had to remove it to put new flooring in.
I tried to disconnect the black wire connector and it was brittle enough to break off the tank.
Now, I dont know what to order or if it could be replaced and what I would ask for.
As you see in the pic it is the far right connector. and the "thing-a-ma-gig" underneath the foam gasket.



Is this something I can fix myself?

    Yes, I replaced the factory thermostat because the water temp was very high (especially with 3 kids). It's adjustable. There's a metal tab and spring that holds it against the tank.

    Cannot see the pictures, but that sounds like the standard thermostat/eco package- Atwood p/n 91447 (available at lots more places than Amazon)- comes with new foam cover).
