Personally I would go with the HV cable and sleeving. If you can make the AC feed post on the tripler as solid as possible, so much the better.
Chances are there is still quite a few other problems to sort out yet, no point in running up more cost before you really have to.

I've lost count of the number of times I got a shock from that connector, when I used regularly service G8's. Does give you a very nasty jolt, but I lived to see the day. Always have one hand completely away from the chassis when working live. That way current doesn't flow through the chest directly. Whatever you do stay safe, ensure you're away from large earthy masses like radiators, when working live.
