Butterfly valve 4 oil cooler,Who sells it? ?
My friend has a Vans oil cooler mounted on the firewall with this neat after market 2 3/4" butterfly valve with a 3" hose from the back side of the rear baffle wall. It's the butterfly valve that's needed. Anybody know of the vendor who sells them for RVs.
Thanks

Are you talking about the oil shutter or a shut off valve for tubing?

Napa Auto parts has a Beldin type push-pull cable that you turn the knob to friction lock.
Works great with this valve.

I firewall mounted my oil cooler and added the butterfly valve from Avery in the SCAT ducting between the baffle and cooler. I then ran a Bowden cable to the cockpit for control of the valve. It works Extremely well with out setup. Helps to warm the oil faster on the ground and precisely control oil temp in the air. It took a lot of labor to get everything to fit right and correct oil hose lengths, Bowden cable routing, etc., but was absolutely worth it.
