thats where you need your frame!
I like it. This would be a good candidate for what on abu ambassadeurs we call a "CT conversion". Its basically taking it a step further and modifying the frame to make it an open top conventional without losing stability of the 3rd bar.
I suspect with your machining skills and resources you could cut a proper "CT bar" in your sleep. Might be worth looking into.

If you are not going to use the level winding parts , I think jgp 12000 was looking for the worm paw for his reel .
