I’ve had auto leveling installed on my TAZ 5 since the stock steel rods and I lost it for a while when I made the switch the openrails mod. Just because I lost my mounting location (on the steel rods).
Anyways, long story short. I’ve decided to make a thread on auto leveling for the openrails x-axis mod.
We will still be using the instructions, or most of it from here for the micro switch method:
The original microswitch auto leveling thread
My thread on micro switch auto leveling
and/or here for the capacitive probe method:

Piercet designed the Probe holder mount for the x rods here:

Looks like this:
And here is my design for the microswitch holder. A combination between 1013’s microswitch holder and Piercet’s probe holder.

Activator.stl (3.62 MB)
I still have yet to work on the proper gcode coordinates for the probe holder.
