Mounting a second alternator (Perkins Prima MD80T)

Hi,
Does it exist some kit or instructions for a such installation ?
Is the Perkins Prima designed in advance for fixing an additional
alternator ?
If somebody knows....
Why do you feel you need two units?
Because my former engine was equiped with 2 alternators, one dedicated
to the service bank, the other one dedicated to the engine bank.
The whole circuitry would have to be modified if I use a unique
alternator for the two banks.
Moreover, the service bank is charged through an
"intelligent-three-stages" regulator which have less efficiency when
connected to 2 banks of different capacities (gel batteries).
Thus, the simplest way to install my new engine is to reproduce exactly
the circuitry of the old one : only wires to connect and that's all !
....And the simplest of the simplest is to find out the proper kit for
mounting this second alternator that I already have.
