Thanks. Do you worry about the angle at which you file the tube wall? What I mean is: Do you worry about having enough of the wall's cross section in contact with the tube it's mating to - make sense?

I think I understand, the template shows you a solid line for the outside edge of the tube and a dotted one for where you need to chamferbit to meet the tube. Kinda happens anyway as you file it if you work with the file running in the sane direction as the tube you are going to butt up against. The thinner the wall the less pronounced that is too.

Yeah pretty much. It was confusing as hell on these stays coz I was flipping them over between offering it up and putting it in the vice to file.
Even with the template there’s still a bit of offering up and fine tuning to be done.
