As promised here is the reference side of the axis full mount.
Like I said in my early post the dimensions of my linear guide forced me to make a small change to be able to properly clamp the linear guide bearing to the rail.
Here is a couple of self explanatory photos.

Has you can see, the this forms a claw like bearing system that holds the axis in place.
Here are also a couple of shots of the arm in position.

This linear rail slides very well. Since the steel bar (ruler) that acts like the linear rail guide has a orange peel kind surface it's not as smooth has I would like but I believe it will become smoother in time.
Now to the other side of this axis. This will be quite easy and fast. That side will have a much simpler kind of bearing system to allow some level of structural distortion. I count on having it done tomorrow.
Hurray :-) ...
