Eek! I'd like to see some insulator other than air between the AC nodes
of that bridge rectifier, it doesn't look like the gap is very much at
all.

You can't see it properly from that angle which I admit looks alarming.
If you could view it in 3D, you'd see there's plenty of clearance between
those leads and they're very rigid, plus this is the low voltage/high
current one and the applied voltage from the mains transformer across
that secondary winding is only around 3.3V.
I admit it's ugly, but it does the job fine and should last much longer
than the failed monolithic bridge it replaces.
