That battery disconnect listed on eBay is the old style that Bill Gunn says is a bad design, the only thing good about it is it's cheap. He said it causes a voltage drop due to it's inherent high resistance, even when brand new. My E15 is having a field voltage problem and one of the symptoms was due to the high load the battery disconnect got so hot it warped and stopped making good contact.
His new one, which is sealed and has silver contacts is around $20.

Subject: (ET) elec trak parts on ebay.
There are some new old stock parts on ebay. Search by "elec trak" wiring
harness, fuel gauge, front spindles, battery disconnect, and a 90 amp
circuit breaker. I might be interested in the circuit breaker if it is the
one mounted on the motor of an e-20. I can't seem to match the part number
in the desc. With any of the part numbers on the elec trak site or the wheel
horse parts site. Any one want to guess if that circuit breaker is the part
I need?
