The big black fuse in the picture a couple of posts back will be at the battery for the additional wiring.
I may also add a separate one for the ignition switch?

I like that design.  Much better than the cheap white plastic bayonet type inline fuses that aren't really good for much more than 10 amps that most people use.

If you want to protect the ignition switch you will need a fairly large fuse, something in the range of 15 amp and goes on the red 4mm wire off the top of fuse 8 (there will be another 1.5 wire to the light switch off the same point and if you want to protect that a 8 amp would be suitable). A better option may be to fit an inline fuse in the red and white wire rated at 30 amps near the starter motor stud before it heads to the fuse box. That will protect the ignition switch and the light switch from a direct short circuit.  There are links directly off the line side of fuses 8 and 9 to the light switch and the ignition switch before going back to the fuse box to pass through a fuse.
