Time to get serious about some cabin heat. Routing a cable for valve control was going to take some creativity. A RC model builder (who happens to be one of our A&P mechanics) says "looks like a good place for a servo" so, here is what we got so far. Servo controlled via rheostat mounted on the panel, powered thru the aircraft 12V system reduced thru a 5V/3A convertor. Hope to get a chance to install later this week!

Hello, David

Can you provide a part number for the servo?

I made something similar, but it's installed in the back of the cabin, so the servo does not need to be as sturdy...

Dave, I can do that!  Also plan on getting rid of that stack of washers with some proper spacers...
