Looking for these panels for my bus

Hi everyone,

Last summer I had to re-route the front-to-back wiring bundle on my bus after a misguided attempt to install curtain rods went awry.




The wiring is complete, I've installed new wood and insulation to replace the metal skin, but I need to come up with some kind of cover.

On a newer bus, I spotted some really nice-looking chase covers (or whatever you'd call them) but can't seem to determine what they are referred to in a catalog so I can buy a few. This is exactly what I want, and far superior to what I was planning to create using roof flashing and thin wood.

Anyone have any idea as to the "official" name of these panel covers?

Thanks,
TA

Not sure what they're called... Mine are a different style because I had ducted roof air down each side.
I'll be building mine out of galvanized steel, because I want to punch them out for electrical boxes. (Yes, I'll create enough clearance that there won't be any electrical arc'ing)

But anyway... I asked our local school bus shop manager and he said they were readily available at a place he gets them... Some sort of school bus parts vendor he uses in Oklahoma City. So, you might ask your local manager.

Local trade school where I substitute teach has this plug cutter in Electrical Trades


HVAC class has a 8' sheet metal brake

Good evening, I have a 1987 p30. 5.7 gas, very solar to yours. I have just purchased two months ago and am having little luck in getting power to wipers, heater, and interior lights. It appears that I am missing metallic circuit breakers (2) on left side bus bar behind instriiment cluster. Any chance I can get a few pictures of this area? I have checked all obvious fuses, neutral switches, continuity, etc. Tried the shotgun approach with a couple of components with little success. Any clues, ideas, and pictures would be appreciated. I will set up a few pics of bus tomorrow. Thanks
