Hi Guyz
as some of you know I work in television and am waiting for an assignment to go and film the locust plague (if it eventuates) and I do not want to have to pick the buggers out of my radiator!
cheers Hunty

Hunty, I have something similar to that which you have just installed, except my screen is backed by a double layer of bronze fly wire installed 1/2 a square out of alignment. It has been there for 2 years, regular hosing if it gets covered with insects (and it has been well caked with grasshoppers) prevents any overheating problems.

Those of you with a snorkel should think about that too.

I have a foam sock to go over the ram intake in extreme dusty conditions, and also at times of heavy insect infestation.

I've always just turned the ram head backwards. Sure it works alittle harder to draw air but it's alot cleaner.
