Yes, that's the way to do it with the multiples. We also used to put a web across the angle near the top end and connect a shackle to that to stop twisting the angle. Star pickets were a bit too flimsy for LWB vehicles. Imagine using the rubbish imported steel available today after they dumbed-down the Standards.
