You guys mind if I steal the pictures to my site, with your names on them? I think they would nicely compliment my old pages on cooling.

I could also just link them if you prefer.

DirtyD,
There's a left hand and right hand piece. Different shapes. Glenn's third pic (middle of pic, upper) shows these two side by side.

The flaps assembly, the flaps assembly mounted to the fan shroud (note the large spring), and the thermostat itself:

The way it works is that the thermostat is a sealed metal can full of air, which expands when it warms up and contracts when it is cold. This expansion/contraction pushes & pulls on a linkage rod, which opens and closes the flaps.

Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.

Cool, I have a thread in a sticky. :D

I plan to add a pic of the fully assembled, cleaned, painted and mounted tin when I'm done. For closure. :p
