That isn't an original fitment - it's someone's way of avoiding voltage drop.
Why you would need 40A for a solenoid is beyond me.

Someones bodge way of reducing voltage drop and not original wiring.....there is certainly compelling evidence to say this works...but not the way it's been done with yours, sorry
...(exposed to the ellements and 2 inches away from a red hot exhaust manifold header) I dread to think how the wiring and crimp connectors look under that tape , and so close to that 'metal' bracket?
