Very sharp work!!
BTW (nit) when working on the electrics, it is best to remove the NEG terminal from the bat, instead of the POS. I never could figure out why this was till recently.
If you remove the POS term, there still exists a potential for a tool to cause a short between the frame (NEG) and the POS terminal of the battery (POW!)
If you remove the NEG term, you have a risk of a tool causing a short fromthe NEG term to the frame, but all this would do would be to apply power to the vehicle electrical system briefly (which may not be a good thing, but probably less of a hazard than a 1000 amp short)
A short between POS of the battery and the frame when the negative terminal is still connencted is always enlightening and memorable.
If the neg is disconnected, a tool short from battery POS to the frame is not a short of the BATT, since there is no return path to the negative term of the batt.
