Now here's another option that you might want to consider. You can replace that ERA furnished 50 amp "auto reset" circuit breaker with one that requires manually resetting. A little button pops out of it when it throws and you have to manually push the button back in -- just like the circuit breakers in your house.
Pretty cool item.
This is what I found. They all have plastic mounts. Don't these circuit breakers need to be grounded like the metal mount type 1 auto reset presently on the car?

I will still hook up the MSD POS wire with a fusible link as Rick suggested and you agreed. In addition, change out the ERA 50 amp CB with the manual setting type
