Does anyone have a set of installation instructions for these units that were fitted to a vehicle as a bolt-on welding supply and power source. Basically an additional alternator and box of tricks. Searches on the net haven't found anything. Looks to have been a company in York but long gone. Thanks.

I saw one fitted to a Land Rover many many years ago at the Land Rover Nationals in Sussex, I believe the welders alternator unit replaced the standard oem alternator, the vehicle wasn't fitted with another separate unit.....
