Thanks Diesel/911.
My system is up and running fine now. Replaced the temp 18 gauge strip fuse with new factory aluminum ones. The copper temps worked ok for about a week though until new ones arrived. She starts fine and the new relay was probably not needed since I believe the culprit was one or two of the glow plugs were shorting. Replaced all of them with new Bosch units and all back together.
This was a great learning experience for me and as always many thanks to you all on this great forum.
