So what you are saying, in the above picture, I would remove the original X axis support rails and mount the new support rails onto the back of the plate that ties the 2 sides together?...

So if I were to purchase these Linear Bearing Slide SBR16 6 Supported Rails 12BLOCKS | eBay, how would I mount them from the pictures I have shown?

John

Do you have any drawings or pictures I could look at to give me an idea what I need to change? Will I have to rebuild the entire X axis?

Thanks for the information!!
