Does anyone know how much forces those v bearings are able to withstand as they do not look taht capable.

Good for taking thrust in one direction but not at 90degrees.
Just an observation on the mechanical loadings put on the bearings as all side load will be dependant on the fit of the ball races in the v bearings, to my mind the design lacks something.

Just my 2p worth.

Peter,
I agree, If this was box section I would put a couple of skate bearings at 90 degrees onto the side of the box to contain lateral forces. Or better still use pairs of v-bearings at 90 degrees onto the supported rail as per diagram... (obviously not to scale)
