[Scott Janzen]

I think this is the same unit. Reliable for a decade so far. No shop conversion necessary. Just connect to the right terminal for single wire operation

It is visible in one of the images.  It is a 60 amp alt. as I have full road going equipment on my TR.  It was not expensive as far as I can remember.  I can provide more info if you need it.
