Nope, we're good. I do have one question on the cover plate for the embilical cord connection cover. On my M762, the cover is bolted with tiny machine screws and small nuts, but there are some holes that you can't get a nut on the bolt from the inside of the cover. I presume the holes in the drawbar for this cover plate were tapped for a slotted screw. Is that the case on your harness cover plate? Tapped? Or just a set of four holes, two top and two bottom?

Hi Jeff,
This trailer has the cover plate held on with a slotted machine screw and a nut. All four locations have the screw head on the outside. This matches all of the other I have done. ( I think I counted 22 others in the last 10 years.) To be honest, on many I replaced the screw with a bolt for ease of removal next time. Many had to be cut of after 55 years of exposure to get to the wiring.

This trailer has been sold to a MV owner in Mass. I will have one or two in the pipeline next month or so.
