Some frame makers make their frames one width front to back like a stock T frame, others have a frame that tapers from the rear to the front similar to a Model A frame. And others have other ideas.

For mounting stuff to the frame I use 3/8 nuts welded for a flat surface,the tubing wall is too thin for mounting anything  substantial.  I try to find unplated nuts, to remove the cad or zinc plate I buff them, Muratic acid is supposed to remove it after soakingfor a few hours. I use My Unibit to make a tapered hole just smaller than the nut hex size . I use a long bolt and screw the nut on the end. I tap the nut into the lole and square it up, carefully weld the nut to the tubing, let it cool remove the bolt. clean out the thread with a tam, grind smooth if required.
