seems appropriate... if you're worried, just use a lower spec. of 4nm, then add a bit if the der. slips down during use.
Too, I'd be checking the OD of the down tube onto which the dr clamp's to be affixed, and that said clamp's a proper match for that OD.
May even want to put a smidge of carbon assembly paste on the contact surfaces of said clamp before installation.
