Nice idea for East heavy Andrew....Chrome chain and a big Brass Padlock perhaps
Even a nice flexible stainless wire would suffice, and a fancy brass fusee type mechanism between the pillowblocks would fill out the space in there. Can never have too much brass.
I tried this method once with my LX200, and it worked well.
The big benefit is ( assuming you balance close to perfect first ), it keeps the RA worm under a constant preload, no change is required as you slew around
