Correct, the two "hot" leads from the gen head.

I hear you about the exhaust! For TB6 you could cut the 3 factory wire harness wires as close to TB6 as possible and then splice them to my wire harness 3 wires for TB6. Splice.... My TB6-1 wire to factory wire 115B16 My TB6-2 wire to factory wire 116B16 My TB6-3 wire to factory wire 117B16...

Two kits remaining & ready to ship. Those are the last two available.

By popular demand kits are again available to perform the Gen Head Swap on MEP-831A's! Gen Head Swap Kit

I'd just chop those ferules off and extend the wires as needed with suitable wire and some crimp butt connectors. For mounting the contactor I suggest doing this. Re-use the "L" bracket that was used under the inverter and do this. Just need to drill 1 hole to mount the contactor to it.

Sorry I missed your post. OK, I'll get on it! :)

If your up for one I'll get the boards on order. Will take about 7-10 days for the bare circuit boards to arrive and then a few days of assembly and test before they can ship.

Correct With a heavy duty toggle switch you can have the ability to switch from 120 to 120/240. I did that for one customers 831 that I did the head swap on. Wiring the switch was a bear.

A friend of mine ended up with an extra new Alt Mecc generator generator head for doing the 831 conversion. He has no need for it and is looking to sell it. If interested contact Mark at: mark.neil@verizon.net He's located in S.E. Massachusetts update: sold

It's worth a shot to dry the main circuit board and seal the 12 or so potentiometers on it. The rest of the board is well potted. It's just the potentiometers that aren't potted or sealed. The main board is on the engine side of the inverter. As I recall you have to take the top panel and...

Yes. Northern Tool dropped the one that was popular. A place replacement heads can be purchased from is Mecc Alte I've installed them and they are 99.9% the same as the Norther Tool one. Just a bit shorter in length which makes installation a touch easier. Here is the model that I've used when...

Forgot to put that in. $180 shipped. Cost in higher than the SLC-100 replacement I sell due to the additional parts costs and wire harness for the 60 Hz version.

I am building 4 more Governor Controller kits for doing the MEP-831A conventional head swap. Includes custom electronic Governor Controller to maintain 60 Hz, wire harness, load sensors, restores Overload detection, Load meter operation. Includes installation hardware, installation...
