I agree with that from that perpspective - as you indicate zam, the smaller gauge wires are in main harness anyway.
If mine ever fails again (I believe I've reduced that possibilty greatly by adding the better heatsink - the heat is what kills these things) then I would have to re-wire the replacement again as opposed to plug n play at that point. That wouldn't be an issue for me personally but your advice is well suited to those who don't want to face this rework again after initial mod.
It's all good either way - The main thing is that if the mod is done on the main harness to pull the fuse to keep the protection as designed.
Kudos to
Hokie incidentally - as I re-read through this thread this morning, even though acknowledging himself as an electronics novice, recognized the potential issue with leaving both fuses in circuit.

But again zam, thanks for bringing this simple mod to everyone's attention - regardless of exactly which point it's connected (before or after the connector) it is a great mod & will operate just as efficiently either way, so that part comes down to personal choice.
