circuit breaker.. the ‘buttons’ are just the insulation that go onto the studs that the wires are bolted to.
It’s just a protection for the wire that feeds my DCDC charger.

I was told yrs ago not to labour tow In 5th- ie: don’t pull in 5th- fine to coast down hill & cruising along the flats but never pull in 5th because 5th gear is tiny in most 4wd gearboxes- about the size of a 50c piece ( that’s what I was told) anyway it gets hot & cooks the oil then it destroys everything. That was in Ranger/ BT50 gearboxes & im lead to believe most others aswell so I’ve just stuck with that. Happy to be told otherwise.

Exactly what I was doing. Changed the oil out and is all good now.

Pretty sure it was Erics fault. I think he bought them a while ago, I did after seeing them but never fitted them.

The side of my Cross country intercooler has had a spanner or two welded to it in the past....

Mark, to insulate the positive side I made a red acrylic cover with a heat gun. They just looked too easy to short circuit..

Yeah I was thinking I need to cover it...

Better than a hole in the AC line on your Mrs brand new car the day before you are towing a caravan for 8 hours on a 40 degree day.
Ask me how I know.
