I feel there will plenty of room between the base of the nut and it's big internal thread to put the two mounting screws in line/on center with the big Acme screw.
No need to go re-measure every dimension Ed. You know which ones should have tighter tolerance. That's really what I'm looking for, a tolerance. Just let me know which dimensions should have a "plus nothing, minus .0005" tolerance and which can be plus or minus a football field.
No need for that Steve. I've made a couple similar screws in the past and just as easy to cut the external thread to a good fit. The tapped hole tends to be a bit big, so the screw is compensated. If I can find the old internal boring bar I'd made for the tiny internal HSS Acme threading bits I had made years ago, I'll single-point thread the nut.
