Clarke 100 e mk2 mig welder non eu type mig gun fitting

[acc80]

I am the owner of a Clarke 100 e mig and intend to use for practice, at present I am trying to find out if I can convert the mig gun to take a eu fitting , I have little experience in technical side and the requirements needed.

I have done checks on internal components and the unit is functional

I would appreciate a rational approach from someone who has done this before

Why convert ?
is it missing the gun and you are replacing it ?

The gun is not missing but the unit is 22 year old and the tip and head need replacing and is also missing a grub screw fitting on the wire feed

Changing the socket on the machine and buying a new torch seems a bit much.

No socket must be replaced and trigger unit photo below

I think it’s Tec Arc that do a complete torch assembly for hobby welders for about £20, I’m in Spain at the moment so can’t find it as internet is iffy

I bought one a while back & it was a reasonable quality torch. They advertise on EBay from what I recall

I aay non eu type as this welder is pretty old 22 years and I'm missing only a grub screw for the gas valve but if you saw the photo it needs maintenance on it, just making sure if it get it working I don't fry myself
