Here you can see that even though I didn't have the right length and finish of bolts, I had enough of a collection of 1/4"-20 fasteners to get everything together. I don't have the mirror cell in it, so I don't know for sure whether three rails will be enough, but at least right now, I can't detect any bending when I hold it by one rail.

And as I mentioned, it is going to need some repainting before final assembly. More by dumb luck than planning, there is no problem adding three more rails of the same size if needed to reduce deflection. This would only be another five pounds, and should reduce deflection by half.
