You can set it up for whatever rake you want, but 14-deg should be plenty. For a good reference on angle...take a square piece of paper, fold it into a right triangle, halve that angle, and halve in again...that's 11.25-deg. You just have to make sure the tie rods are still located so as to minimize bump-steer. Compared to the quad, the left pair of a-arms is going to be further away than the right a-arms when mounted to the buggy. So you'll have to make some tie rod changes from the original setup anyways.
What it boils down to is....see below:

Looks good.
Is the tie rod still parallel with the lower?
Are you ready for this, The inner tie rod pivot is the center of the arc created by the outer tie rod pivot.Read this over and over and look at the pic below,this is one of the first ones I posted.
The easiest way to find it now that you now the tierod length is(13.5?)is to tape a piece of cardboard roughly where you think the inner will be(you have a pretty good idea now right?).Put the cardboard vertical,basically right where your new bracket is.Now cycle your suspension(this is where knowing your shock lenghts would help)full bump,ride height,full droop.Put a magic marker in your inner rod end.Make an arc on the cardboard at each location(full bump,etc...).where these arc cross over is VERY close to where the pivot needs to be.If they don't cross over you can guesstimate the average of the three.
