I agree.

In addition to placing a 4A inline fuse in this black wire, I'd also recommend adding a second 4A inline fuse to the other leg of the ammeter wiring. One fuse is enough to protect against an overload due to a bad shunt connection (as I mentioned earlier) but a fuse in both wires will give full protection in case either side gets shorted to ground.

The other leg of the ammeter wiring is the black wire with a white stripe. It connects to the junction block on the horn relay (with a bunch of red wires) as shown in the diagram Lugnutz65 posted above. Locate the fuse close to the horn relay end of that wire.
