    Yes - That is the Fuse Mod. It protects your Quad winding from burning up should the Regulator's internal diode bridge short out. The MOV mod is intended to protect the Regulator's internal diode bridge from shorting out. If you need a MOV for the mod just PM me and I'll mail you one.

    Chambersburg directions

    Be sure to stop and get your background check BEFORE going to the DRMO building. Budget about 15 minutes for the check. It's at the corner of Wisconsin Ave and Advantage Ave. Advantage is your second left after heading in on Coffey Ave from 997.

    Mep 004a and 005a "carrier bearing"

    Look at TM9-6115-464-24P for the 004A July 1992 edition. See figure 41. I believe the bearing is a 6307-2-RS. A quick Google shows many suppliers of the bearing.
