Surge protection on an mcb on a TT

Hi guys, i fitted a replacement CU today on a TT system. I have used a main switch with double pole rcbo's. The pre installed surge device is protected by a 32amp mcb.  It basically has a loop of 6mm inside the unit aprox 5 inches long that loops from the breaker, behind the meter tails into the top of the surge device.   I was a bit concerned because of the circuit breaker, i was tempted to order another rcbo, but after reading through the manufacturers bumf it says its fine on a breaker or fuse on a TT system.  I presume this is because it is part of the assembly ? Or is it because the link is so short and it's pretty much impossible to cause a problem.  A bit like meter tails in the metal box if installed correctly. Any thoughts please.

Cheers  Gary
