OK, if I'm understanding correctly, the front and back rails are split into 3 pieces with the 1/4-20 bolts passing through the outer rail, spacer and inner rail before anchoring in the front/back rail. I'm guessing the spacers are made from front-rail pieces, with the holes drilled out.
It would be stronger if the front and back rails were one piece. I've often thought AndyMark should have made the front/back rails screw into the side rails, and not vice-versa. Nevertheless, your design will work fine I think, and I like that most of it is COTS parts, which will reduce cost, schedule and design risks. Good luck!
