Need a measurement mep803 please

[dstang97]

Can someone please measure their mep803 for me. I need from the corner of the "roof panel" to the center of the bolt holes.

I should be able to measure one tomorrow.

I should be able to measure one tomorrow.

Thank you. I finally found a used roof panel for my mep802 and it is different than every single one on the internet. I'm thinking I can make it work with a mep803 part.

My 803 measures between 16-3/8" and 16-7/16" to the screw hole center when measured to the line in your photo. The next row of screw holes where the whole panel attaches is 38-3/16" or thereabouts. I don't have a metric tape handy.

Thank you sir

I have a weird panel off of who knows what. Here are some pictures of what I'm dealing with. I think I need a 803 bottom tray for the air and water to work with the top panel. Btw this is a Mep-802 genset

I'm 100% sure that is not a 802a top because the radiator vent cut out is way to close to the exhaust. The tops of the 803a and 802a's are different. By that, I mean the opening for the radiator inlet is a lot smaller on the 802a's.

 

[dstang97]

Yeah something is weird and I can't figure it out. What else would it have come off of. This makes no sense.

Crickets.....

Haha! I think everyone is stumped at this one. I tried looking through several hundred pictures of different military equipment and can't find anything close. Is that the top that came with the unit or something you found after the fact?

Original is somewhere on highway 77 Nc. This is a replacement that I got from jim Henry. The only spare one in America at the moment.

Howdy,

MEP-802A top


MEP-803A top

 

[dstang97]

Yup I think I just need the lower section off a Mep803a to make this abortion work. Thanks guys. Now I just need to find one.

 

[dstang97]

Got a 803 lower panel and it fit the 802 roof. So I'm good to go. Thanks.

Can you take a pic? Interested in seeing it.

Someone was a busy boy! Putting all those brand new screws in the set! That's good work.

Howdy,
I listed out all the stainless screw parts needed, but I did not replace every single one.

MEP-8xx stainless steel screw information

In the back of the manual it states exactly how many are used.
