Darin,
I have Lowell's oil cooler and water cooler shutters on my 4. They do help
out in the temperature department but will not totally control it. I have added
a thin cardboard piece behind my oil cooler shutters to aid in warmer oil
temps for the winter. I did not want to put on that ugly tape again. The
cardboard is not visible from the outside until you open the shutters.
In the case of the water radiator I had to add about a 6 inch piece of tape
to the front.
The closed and open position on the shutters only appear to make about a
10-12 degree difference in temperatures. (both coolers) I fly with them closed
most of the time.
One other thing, the water radiator shutters go on the back of the radiator
and when they are fully closed you will have a slight buffeting in the
airframe. This is no big deal but when you know every sound your airplane makes
it was
a little startling at first. I suppose this buffet is do to the air "jamming
" up at the radiator inlet and unable to flow through.
The units are nicely made and I am glad I have them. The oil thermostat
would probably be the best way to go but like you, I didn't want any more hoses
that might leak and add to the plumbing jungle in there!

Dick,
Good information to know...I suspect that some of the effects of the louvers on
my 7 will be different than on the 4 simply because of the location of the coolers.
On my airplane, the 914 produces a bit more heat than the 912 due to the
turbo and the guys in Idaho flying the 914 on the 7 say they don't need to
do anything in winter to maintain acceptable temps. However, they do drop a bit
during cold weather flying...thus the louvers are expected to do the trick
nicely. I'll keep the list posted on my findings.

Pat,
I got the shut off valve and cable from Napa auto parts. I don't recall
the part number but it was a stock item and I went through what they had un
til I
found one that fit. It simply closes the heater circuit when shut. So far
it
has worked like a champ.
