Howdy,

The trays look similar, but they are different sizes. The parts manuals also do not jive with the proper fitment on later TM's

Where are the simple rubber flap type terminal protectors available from?

Doing a bing search, every possible type comes up in images other than the type pictured above, and the same type I've seen used on many trucks.

Asking in anticipation of putting new batteries in my soon to be delivered generator.

Thanks

NSN: 5940-00-738-6272, part number: 10942521 gets you the black cover, package of ten. Look in febay. There is also a red cover, but I never used them.

I never use these covers... they are frankly nothing but a PITA. I take them off of every machine I go through.

I agree. The only reason I used them is that it's REQUIRED in the Army. Or at least was when I was in, and the 8 years I worked as a contractor.

If anyone is looking for the battery hold down sets, some just appeared in the classified section of SS

MA - Battery Hold Downs for MEP-802A or MEP-803A (88-20055 and 88-20060)

I have 20 used brackets (6160-01-476-4365, 88-20055) and (40) used J hooks (5306-01-367-7777, 88-20060) available. Will sell as one battery set, or a pair (to outfit a machine complete). I may have a few extra brackets alone, but no J hooks alone. (1) Bracket with (2) J Hooks (and nuts) - $60...
