Yes, yes, yes. I am a huge fan of this idea. Your execution looks very clean.

There are many ways to do it. I did mine with 3D printing, first in a rocket I dare not name because GlenP is in the room (installation shown here). Photos attached.

I also made a barely useful video showing how it works on another rocket.

Mine is designed with a built-in stop, so you insert the nose, turn about 90 degrees clockwise until it stops, and you're good to go.

[BTW Glen that upscale Machete is absolutely gorgeous]
