Yeah, that's what it is then! I think the position of the actual relay may be inconsequential, because all of mine are right side up. So I think the important points are where the diodes should sit in the sockets, as opposed to which pins to jump.

The diode route will work, but...
Pros:
Cheap
Fast
Easy
Cons:
Fuseblock terminal stress
Intermittent connections due to "friction" fit
Diode failure
Heat (i.e. fire risk)
Since the "project triangle" concept states you can't have all three ("cheap", "fast" and "good") and being the perfectionist that I am, I went the relay route to isolate the two circuits from one another and increase safety/reliability. Obviously there is a cost/effort to doing it this way, but I have peace of mind that it's done right (according to my standards, anyway!)
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you Sir! Very much appreciated!!
