Does my photo show up?
When I look it is there for a second then disappears.

I think I'm done just some clean up (isn't there always).Morning Gary
I’m a little late seeing this thread - but your last picture indicates you have not done the install yet. - so here’s how I installed the X scale (Y & Z have lots of room and thus a bit easier)
I have an X power feed limit switch at the front, so I put the X dro scale/reader at the back.
I don’t notice, until later, but the X scale was covering access to this gib oiler:

I should have installed it higher up. Also, the installation at the rear takes away about 1” of Y travel. Since I needed to relocate it (to get access to the oiler), I decided to move it to the front (and get back that Y travel)
Here a pic of the front of my RF45 clone

The blue bracket holds both the X dro reader and the X power feed limit switch as seen here:

This shows access to the oiler:

While crouched down there taking those pictures - here’s a couple shots of the linkage for the Y gib lock
