A
1991 Jeep Wrangler equipped with a ZENA underhood welder
This
Jeep operates far off road and in addition to providing the owner with the ability
to fix anything that breaks when 4-wheeling, the vehicle's welder is used frequently
to rescue others on the trail.
Installation is straightforward:
An Add-A-Pulley secondary retrofittable alternator pulley is used to drive the Power
Generator. The Power Generator is mounted to the vehicle using a ZENA A300 universal
mounting bracket which is attached (using 5/16” bolts) to a bracket fabricated from
2”x1/4” angle and 1-1/4”x1/4” bar stock which is attached to the existing alternator
mounting bracket.
V-belt tensioning is achieved by using an A210 universal extension bracket (which
is attached to the Power Generator), a vertical member made from 1-1/4”x1/4” bar
stock (which is attached to the fabricated mounting bracket), and two 5/16” turnbuckles
in combination.
To control engine speed, a RTASC automatic speed control was installed. |
