Yup, getting back to Tad's build - looking good!
If you do use the Rotalocs, one more tip - the base plate is flat and doesn't sit against the tube ID very well. I gently bend them in a vise to curve them out a bit. This is an operation that has the most likelihood of weakening the weld between the nut and the baseplate, so care should be taken. You don't need to bend the plate much at all. I just bend it a little bit, check it, bend it a little more, etc. It is fairly easy to get it to fit perfectly against the tube.

Yup. Yup. Totally see that. Good "heads up". Was already thinking about the body contour, so thanks.
