Electrical power distribution

I'm almost afraid to show this. I think I'm going to call it an "ugly bug" power distributor.
I've been looking since this original post for something slick that will fit in the headlight for power distribution. With on real luck.
So I soldered up this horrid looking 14ga thing the other night. It has 14 connections. One for the main power supply with a separate 20 amp fuse and 13 connections for lights and accessories.
My question to smarter people here is do you foresee any problems? It solves my needs. Tested for good continuity and no voltage drops.

Now that is more better than the horrid wire nutted thang and rat's nest that you had before. I don't see any problems. You could drop down to 16 ga. at the plug-ins to feed your accessories. Of course with one fuse, you lose everything if a fault anywhere pops the fuse.

Your bullet connectors look very good.

I like your basic idea! I would endeavor to get the bulk out of it by soldering your secondary leads to a stripped wire mainline, then placing the mainline in a plastic channel with notches for the secondary breakouts. Then fill the channel with silicone or epoxy resin. Your 14 breakouts could be gained in a channel of only 2 to 3 inches.
