Questions on newly acquired MEP-802a

That goes on the muffler exhaust.

No I believe this is a piece of the flap that covers the + battery terminal. It has a right angle mold in it. The gasket on the muffler plate is die cut round, no angles.

Also, time to replace my well nuts and read quite a bit but I have not seen the recommendation to use these https://greenmountaingenerators.com/product/mep802a-mep803a-fuel-tank-well-nut-a3816/. They seem to be the best option.

That is a cheap knockoff to the real ultimate wellnut upgrade. The O ring does not have a channel to seat into... so depending on how well you align it upon installation... chances are its going to leak.

Its definitely not for the exhaust, too small . Ok, so this thread is the correct well nut to use? https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/ultimate-well-nut-repair.171091/page-8

Yes, if you can find it in stock. If you cannot, the grey nitrile OEM style are available from SS user @Suprman . They are the improved material compared to the standard install.

That looks like half of a battery terminal cover.

Yikes, on a second look, you are right.

Yes, its a broken off part of a battery clamp cover. The muffler gasket is normally square. But the color is close to what you have in your hand.

I've actually never seen a square cut exhaust gasket... they all have been round (though the plate is square)

As always, great minds think alike!

The very first ones were round. But yes, later were not. The gasket, plate and spring are often gone, or installed incorrectly.
