I think my suggestion may be unsafe!

Potential Amp load on that length of 1.0 wire might too high?

Please correct me if I'm wrong but back feeding B+ through the 1.0
black/red 50 wire in junction box would take a long path back through
1.0 wire to fuse panel, then ignition switch 50 then out to starter
via 4.0 then 6.0 wires.
