My diode is mounted on my CB panel which is by my right leg.  When I hooked up the blade connectors they stick out just enough that the radius of wire touches the fuselage. I bent over the tabs with some duck bill pliers, the diode arrived with one tab slightly bent so I knew they are fairly easy to bend.  The thing bench tests fine, other than heat shrinking the connector since they are closer to the sides of the diode is there anything wrong with doing this?  Picture attached for illustration.
