    MEP-802A cover

    Just got a quote back from Transhield for a cover for the 802. $276 for the cover and $65 to ship to Massachusetts. Totalling $341 for the cover. I think i will stick to my $25 stall mat that covers the top. and lets air flow thru the rest of the unit.

    Mep 802 Leaking oil from oil drain

    I tightened up the hose clamp yesterday and today I didn’t notice anything where it was leaking. If the drain hose wraps like you describe is replacing it just fitting a new hose over the barbed ends then tighten the hose clamps?
