Since i have the covers off I was going to see if I could resolve the issue by rerouting the wires so they wouldnt chafe.

Theft here is a real concern as well. I keep the easy to take stuff blocked off with cars and other less easy to move stuff. I figured if I make it too inconvenient to take they wont bother. Putting up cctv cameras has done wonders to reduce the problems I was having before from almost routine...

I took a break from working on the damage to the MEP803 to do some rust remediation on my generator trailer. Years and years of repaint made it really challenging to get the paint off the deck. It took a couple of days and a gallon of paint stripper but I finally got down to base metal in most...

Oh yea, I have a merit badge in JB Weld. The plan is to use a strip of aluminum stock on the back to bridge the cracks and give it some strength. Overkill I know but thats how it goes with me.

I already have JB Weld at the ready. :)

Thanks for the info on the paint color. That should finish it off nicely.

This is looking less crappy than I expected.

For sure not body work. I'm a crackin' mechanic otherwise. :-D

I was able to get the pucker out of the bulkhead this morning. My hats off to the craftsmen and women that can shape metal and not leave a bunch of marks behind. Obviously I'm missing that gene. It ain't pretty but it it should line up now! Before: After:

That is the plan.

Thanks! I enjoy working on these things. I must be insane. I had fun with this photo today. This is what the damage looked like when I picked it up from the base. When I was taking it apart I realized that someone had started to disassemble it but then stopped. I have the external panels...

I had thought about using a loom to wrap them. The issue you can cause there is with heat dissipation. I'll need to check the wire size and make sure wrapping it up won't cause any heat problems.

As part of checking the damage on the MEP803 I picked up today I noticed something that should be resolved in the generator electrical section. The way the wires are routed from the reconnect switch to the terminals below they cross over some sharp metal edges with no protection. I can see on...
