The main function of the battery isolator switch is to isolate the battery ( surprise surprise ) so shorts don't cause a fire. It doesn't really matter which lead it's on as long as it breaks the circuit.
It's not a race car so won't be an external switch which would also be linked to the ignition circuit. As a road car it'll have a handy other primary device to disable the ignition circuit - the key ( or a n other switch or button depending which clever but complex system they go for )

Anyone else wince when they put the live cable through a sharp edged metal hole without a grommet?
Yes!

Awesome as usual though. The working loom all wired up on the floor was particularly satisfying.
Apart from using black cable ties on the red power cable in the distribution board, when they'd used red cable ties fixing it to the floor.

Thank you for all the comments on our latest video, it's quite overwhelming! Couple of things to clear up: it's a dry build right now so we're not adding grommets or anything until final assembly after paint. Can't believe some would think we'd forget that! Also, there's no need for a fuse in the big red starter cable; there wasn't one on the MG loom, nor have we ever put one in any other car. The main live to the power distribution board goes directly to a large fuse. Looking forward to bringing you the next one!

Clues suggest an MG SV / SV-R
And I do want them to finish Binky. In colour.

Wonder if they'll own up to it being modified ( ) when insuring it?

I feel sorry for the person the other end of the phone line that asks if there are any modifications

One of the comments in the project Binky videos put me onto the channel of these two Australian guys, they recently finished off a 240z with RB26 conversion which was very nicely done IMO:
There's some good builds in there with all sorts being done and covered in a decent amount of detail and they are decent presenters too.

I've been watching MCM for ages, they do some pretty cool stuff. There's a show on the their back up channel called Skid Factory that's based at the shop of Allan (Turbo Yoda) that's also well worth watching.

Their Bedford van project seems to have gone a bit quiet, I hope it's being finished off and a final episode is in the making.

They had gone to the US to run Hot Rod drag week in the Toyota they built on MCM. The next episode of the build has just gone up.
