The ready availability of lenghts of screwed rod gives us a new and

Keep the sheets of aluminium that support the components, but separate
the sheets with screwed rods and lock nuts.

It has the advantage that if you're not too good at lining up screw
holes, that you can make adjustments to the locknuts.

I'm not sure I understand what you are proposing. Can you post a photo
somewhere?

Thanks,

Don't worry, Jim. No one else understands what he proposes, either.

Threaded (not "screwed") rods have been available since the Egyptian
times 3,000 years ago. And NOW he's discovering them?
