haha, I have not made it yet and yes I have considered getting rid of it. From what I read it does not need to be perfectly level to achieve good alignment. Id prefer proper level...

If i do use the rat cage design I will limit the bolt space between the plates to the thickness of a nut and whatever washers I need to get level. See I also have to access the bolt to attach the head to the plate. I would need space to get in a spanner. I cant imagine 15mm of threaded rod would have much movement considering how much force is clamping the plates together.
