Excellent! I will have to pick a low temp glue gun and some low temp glue sticks ASAP.

BTW....would you mind sharing how you routed your wiring to avoid the motor/flywheel. I'm thinking if I route the wires via the inside corners of the shell's ceiling (where the shell wall meets the roof) and not directly over the motor/flywheel itself I'll be in good shape.

The flywheel diameter is 29.33 mm and the body shell opening over the motors is 33 mm. So...."plenty" of room :-).

Junior, this thread excited me to tear into this GP-9 and fix the marker lamps, so here are some pics of my install:

The rear motor in the narrowest part of the shell. I have tether that runs to a dummy unit where additional lighting and a large speaker reside. The wiring harnesses for the pickup rollers and tether run beside the motor, not above it. It's tight back by that rear motor, the connection leads for the can motor rub slightly on the shell sidewalls.

Here are some interrror pictures of the shell and cab lighting. I keep the wiring tight to the roof and as close to the side as possible. At the top of the picture you can see the now removed marker lights. They are wired in series and the wire between them was rubbed by the motor. Time to replace the LEDs!

I kept the wires tight to the roof until mid body to ensure they won't tangle with the motor or anything else when I b\put the shell back on the frame.
