Wire Mesh on Radiator. We must say we were most disappointed with the appearance of the wire grid on the radiator of 34-EX. We had to increase the mesh somewhat in view of the slight reduction in radiator efficiency caused by the finer pattern. Obviously the decision whether to standardise this or not is a matter for Sales Dept., but our own opinion is that the cure is worse than the disease.
