Can you shoot a pic from the front where you can see both the upper and lower cross shafts as well as the rack bracket?

Are you talking looking straight down above the X member or from under the front looking back?

BTW--I intend to re-visit this once the car is up and running. There is no doubt this will work to hold it togethe and I can always rebuild the center bracket later and swap different tie rods. Without having the engine in I have been having to disconnect the front spring to get the A arms to swing into the natural drive position. I am ready to move onto the hydraboost now and hope to drop the engine back in there very soon. No more time budgeted to this right now.

I only have one dial indicator and setting up on one side of the rotor (with the spring and sway bar undone) moving the spindle up and down, so far it looks good. With the engine back in I can support on the control arm and bounce the car and check for bumpsteer movement.
