I soldered the additional wire to the "tang" then replaced, the point about the overheat is interesting i used a thick gauge wire and as i still run the original wiring loom i now have a parallel circuit so not all of the current will travel down my bypass circuit, but probably a sizeable percentage as it will have lower resistance.
I've been running this setup since May 2012 so if there were to be a problem it should of occurred by now.
That burned wire image shows why you should always size your wiring for the current draw.
