Not a problem, but a way to avoid one

Thought i'd post this on here as I have just done it on another forum and I think it may be useful info if you don't know it already.
I have had a couple of occasions where the 2 wires that go into the DL1 power connector have shorted out. As you move them around (which I do lots) they can loosen from the connector sockets and fray (see pic below). As they are NEXT TO EACH OTHER they can easily short out.
So, to avoid this possibility you can MOVE the GROUND (-ve) connector to socket 8 in the block and it does the same job (count 8 from the live socket, or 5 from the opposite end).
Here is what it looks like :-
May save you a blown fuse or worse.
