Default Foot Box cooling

I've heard stories about searing heat in the foot boxes so I intend to put insulation between the alloy liners and the glass foot boxes..but

I'd also like to install some form of fresh air to the inside of the foot boxes to keep my tootsies from roasting.

I intend to feed air from the front "brake cooler" openings to the foot boxes but would like to also install some form of shut off thingy controlled by a push pull cable. Something like the butterfly in a carby but mounted in some light housing that flex tubing will attach to.

Anyone know of a local available thingy??. There has got to be something out there from some auto heater/airconditioning units......but what?

I think 50mm would be big enuff to force enuff air at say 100klm to cool my dainty lil tootsies. what do you think?

Why do I feel this is gonna bring on some comments about Queensland heat from our southern cousins.
