adjustable radiator cover

Since i live in Iowa, it gets cold..very cold.

 

I saw a CT with a radiator cover that was tie - wrapped on. It was a sliding cover with holes in it and had what looked like a choke cable that went into the cabin just above the rudder pedals.

 

The idea was, you could close off the flow of air over the radiator and keep the whole system warmer.

 

 

HAs anyone seen anything like that or do they make a product like that?

 

Thanks!

My Sky Arrow has an adjustable baffle for the oil radiator.

 

It tries to keep things a bit warmer by blocking the back of the oil cooler, restricting the flow through it.

 

It's a simple pivoting metal plate.

Sorry for the quality of the photos, snapped yesterday, but it might suggest an easy solution.

 

BTW, the control for it is the lever on the right, marked "MIN" and "MAX":
