MEP-802A: Onan DN2W, not DN2M engine?

[RClark13]

I have an MEP-802A with an Onan DN2W engine.
Can anyone tell me if the W is a model change?
Having trouble locating lower radiator hose for this, I've tried a few vendors and they are either completely wrong, or, correct shape, but 1" ends, mine uses 1-1/4" on both ends.
All of the listings I have found, including tech manuals, list the Onan DN2M

I bought the set of hoses from LITD to have as spares.
The two ends on the spare lower hose 88-20190 I have here are both 1 1/4"

Thanks Kurt, I'm trying to contact them, being new here, I am awaiting admin to facilitate the conversation.
also fishing for info on the DN2W vs DN2M, not sure if there are any differences.
I have ordered hoses from a few vendors, all claiming there is only one style, yet none fit my lower, so not sure why I seem to have the only MEP802 with 1.25" lower hose???

Rich,
I just texted LITD. He should be responding when he can.

I don't believe there is any such thing as a DN2W someone at Onan must have been standing on their head when they set up the stamping machine the day that tag was stamped!

There are reasons Lister Petter went bankrupt more than once...a microcosm example perhaps

 

[Light in the Dark]

The Lister item number for this engine is LPW2. I think they probably weren't paying the guy on the stamping machine enough to care if he mixed up the item numbers.

RClark13,

Here is a tip. Since you cant PM yet, what you can do is this. Write the person you want to contact, like this.
@Guyfang That tells the person you want to talk to, to look at the thread. Since I wrote my name, I will get a email telling me to look at this thread.

 

[RClark13]

thank you!

The casting on the block in the photo is curious too. I am sure they had more than one mold they used for this block. A little birdie told me that this 'fiercely British' company was having the Alpha blocks cast in the Far East... would make sense, as they recently were sold off to a Chinese engine manufacturer (though the Alphas and a single air cooled design, are still being produced under license in the UK).
