[QUOTE=oil pan 4;382219]Here is my shutter stat.
Will use it to control the grill shutters. It has "170" stamped on the side, not sure if that means it opens or closes at 170, guess I could throw it in a pot of water with a thermometer and find out.
Its purely thermal mechanical, works like a car thermostat.QUOTE]
Hi,
Loving the thread so far, are you aware that what you are designing here is basically what Porsche added onto the 928 S4 in 1987?
It is described on a 928 history website as:-
"A revised cooling system featured thermostatically operated radiator shutters that opened only when needed to minimize drag in high-speed driving."
You can pick up a grill with motor etc on ebay for $50, adapt it to suit your needs and you will have something that looks OEM and works with German efficiency
