It looks like you're running a bolt through the outside plates and they are tapped into the piece they are connected to? Is this how you're eliminating the need for angle attachments?

How does this method hold up at competition? Do you put locktite or anything on the bolts? Do you have a problem with them staying tight?

Looks great. Good work.
