If you have the genuine Land Rover one, they drive via a dog clutch from the crankshaft nose.

Everybody I have ever come across who had one loves them and would have another, or did have another on their next LR.

I am in the same situation as "shaunh"
have the capstan but dont have anything else...

where can I get the bits (or if given the specs could I get them made?? ,& how are they installed?


cheers

Series 1 setup is slightly different from Series 2/2a/3, but same concept, and if not a stickler for correctness, either can be used.

Series 2a/3 in the attached picture.

why do you not try to find someone near you with one on their vechile, and look at how it is mounted, or get lots of photos,

I have one on my landie, and have all the connections but have not completed the connection through to the cranking handel cog on the front of the engine. I am waiting until I have to remove the radiator and then I will connect it all up. I can take some pics if you like, but it will only show it mounted on the front of the vehicle!
