The only thing I could add, based on the detail level in that axis is - where you have the grub screws for head tramming bearing upon the aluminium plate I might bore some recesses and let in some small steel pads, aluminium will give a little over time and your head could lose tram, especially when looking at the tolerances you are shooting for ;)
Hi Dave

I think you are right and it will give over time. I had gone for big grub screws and lots of them to spread the load but aluminium is soft. I could do with washers without the holes - don't fancy turning them from stock. Anything you know of that's available?
