Yea but running a wire from alt stud to starter relay stud w/ fusible link takes virtually all the charging load from running in and back out of the bulkhead connector and ameter wiring which is most of the issue. True however that a cruddy bulkhead could still be problematic but the danger of meltdown is all but eliminated. If you do the bypass you may as well pull your bulkhead connectors too and inspect/clean both sides and pack with dielectric grease while your at it.
