On my PDWs you just bent the tabs round with pliers for the seatstay bridge clamp - I do wonder how long this will remain secure. I used all the bits of tape and even added some of my own heli tape around the seatstay area as it's tight up against the frame. I reckon they'd be even easier if you weren't ignoring their advice on minimum clearances required!
I need to measure up the bag I've got to be sure it's a Nelson, which should give me a better idea about what size I want. The Nelson might be right size wise, just a little fiddly with the straps was all. I've not had an Audax in my hands and I'm on the fence about if it's too small for a bag for daily commuting that needs to take tools, a pump, a tube, my lunch, a waterproof, wallet, keys, phone, and a spare cycling top. It's one thing to fit all your gear in, but if I'm having to stuff it to the brim every day it'll get on my tits.

I will be selling my rough stuff super c as I have a Witslingers bag coming, if you want something bigger than the audax. Carradice SQR stuff is amazingly functional but ugly.
I was also surprised how easy PDW guards are to go on - I had to drill the rear for the seatstay bridge and that was by far the hardest part.
There’s tape for protecting paint from straps and rubbing. I think this deserves a nicer frame bag, given how nice it is
