Tramming's not such a bad thing as might appear - the vertical blocks that the Z-axis Hiwins are attached to have increasing clearance hole diameters from 6.1mm (bottom) to 6.6 mm bot( top) to allow some side to side movement at the top to get it square. And they make the Z-axis plate seriously chuffing rigid top to bottom-wise. Front to back tramming (which would always seem to be a bugger on a gantry machine to me) was done using the end fastenings on the gantry and a bit of shimming
As regards the bearings being on thin plate, that was a result of me not having much in the way of machining facilities, the top plate and a few other bits are due for a re-make once I have it making chips, with thicker material and better alignment once I can sink the bearings and the motor into the plate.
