LBM, I like your DIY effort but dont you think the above method is a potential fire hazard. Insulatation tape over a metal bolt and nut will easily deteriorate over time due to heat, quality of adhesive, and the fact that the taped joint isnt mounted securely and might get pinched between seats etc. With no inline fuse in your car (I am assuming you dont have any fuseholder near the battery, I may be wrong), that will set you car on FIRE.

And please consider that a basic distribution block costs only Rs 700 more or less. And this is mountable and comes with cover. Is this "jugad" even worth the headache?
