I am working on a sliding shutter to go in front of the cooler. And it'll be operated by a push/pull cable next to the carb heat cable on the panel. It is mostly done and I'll post pictures and offer a performance report when I've used it a bit.
If others are interested I've got it in SolidWorks and have .pdf drawings.
