Phil, your joints will probably be OK. It's just that they are not as strong as they could be. If stressed, they may fail. But, I can't see why they would be stressed to the point of breaking in this situation. As to the bay specs, you can e-mail me if you like.
Mike, thanks for the feedback. I don't want to jinx anything, so I won't say more about the pending sale. Fingers crossed!
I'm surprised no one else noticed those rollers. It's for a unique design element I came up with. My entire bay is a hollow tube for a full interior. The armature is cut away to make room as well. The rear end cap is attached to a long "tray" that slides all the way inside the bay, almost to the very front. This tray is the interior. The whole thing slides out so it can be built separately. The wiring plugs in up front, behind the front cap. To remove, pop off the front cap, unplug the harness, then slide the entire assembly out from behind. This way, I can take my time building an interior and it doesn't have to interfere with completing the rest of the ship.
