I think he means replace the diac with the two diodes. Sure, that would
work but as noted above, just bypassing the whole thing should will work
also.


I think it's highly unlikely that would work- a diac isn't simply two
standard diodes bunged back to back, it is IIRC more like two 30v zeners
back to back.
