I concur - The looped wire is safer. The paxolin strip that is intended to prevent the female part of the terminals form turning as the screws are tightened or loosened is weak and often broken or missing. Likewise the tubular insulators covering the terminals have often got lost in previous years and being live on an unfused feed could allow a direct short from battery to earth.
If you use the wire loop as ruby, check the direction of the loop gives a correct discharge response before putting the dash panel back in place.
On the original set up the dash lamp is permanently live (ooh err mother) and will need a new feed if changing to the wire loop.
