Hmm.
The generator connector had melted, so I replaced and repaired it. Using the same connector shape will definitely be better going forward.
The insulation was completely hardened. I stripped and replaced the insulation on the pickup as well.
The main harness ground looked a bit questionable too, so I repaired it.
I made it so it’s independent with the same connector shape. I think this gives better peace of mind.
Refreshing things, I looked at the grommets and damper area… hmm. The MN uses bolt fastening, the KL uses adhesive. I thought that was thoughtful design, but it turned out otherwise.
I welded the hole shut.
Cut new threads and now it’s secure. I was worried it might not go in all the way, but it worked out fine.
Now it installs without any issues.
The battery hold-down plate was missing its tabs, so I added them. It’s a small piece, so it’s a bit bulky.
The battery was somehow smaller than expected and was being shimmed up with bubble wrap, so I made a U-shaped plate and welded it in place to raise it up removably.
There are other things, but there’s no end to it, so I’ll stop here for now. We’ll put this on hold for the moment.
