Cheapracer,
One question: You have located the BEX gears on the deDion tube and the ends of the link on the chassis. Had you done it the other way around as per most Mumfords I've seen (on this site), a lower RC might have been possible.
The RC is where the line of the 2 tie links meet, mounting it and locating the RC is based on that. You can lower the gear pivots, raise the outer mounts or lengthen the gear/quadrant arms - all will lower the RC in the case above.
I'm not a "low RC" man.
Since your enthused by those pics here's some of an experimental split beam front axle ..
