Doug and K.,
The revised electrical diagram and the Tips and Guidelines show the high current (40amp) returns going back to the Rockwell block. This is actually a much better way to handle the high current returns as it provides the lowest series resistance path to the battery. I expect that inspectors will be looking for compliance with the documents. Sorry.
The rest of the layout looks very nice, you get a gold star.
