Good 12v isolator?

[crashbox]

Any idea where to get sensible 12v manual isolators for old machinery?

Cheap ones seem to burn out!

TIA

The manitou one is good, about £18 from your local dealer.

Have used the vap heavy duty one is okay need quite abit of room to fit it through.

Jcb do a heavier version of the cheap plastic ones, they look the same but better although still not as good as either of above but more compact.

If your burning them out then starter is probably drawing too much current as it's either worn out or one of the many cheap copies no fit for purpose.

Is it best to isolate the positive or negative?

Positive ideally if its negitive earth i would say.

If it old and positive earth then would be the other way round i guess?

Good 12 volt isolator? Anything must be better than the ones fitted to the 6400 series Massey's

Unless it's connected directly to the battery, then always on the Negative side.
