Quick Q for the knowledgable. Can i put an isolator switch between battery & starter motor!
The reason i ask is the young fella has a Hilux that he's doing up. He is going to have to park in a.umm shall we say 'not a great area' for his work for a week, he can't yet afford an alarm so was thinking the next best thing & a quick temporary solution would be one of those switches.
I have a switch (one of the ones with the red key) out of one of my old race cars and was thinking i could put it between the battery & starter under the bonnet.is this possible. It's an '88 so doesn't have an electric fuel pump.
I know it won't "stop" a determined thief but it should slow them down enough.
Any ideas!

Yes, or you could intercept the wire to the solinoid, or if petrol intercept the 12volt to the coil 9easy to hide a small switch somwhere in the cab. lots of different ways.
