Why is this necessary?

And a note on standoffs: It's very hard to find .375 OD tube with #10 clearance ID. Rather than buying .375 rod and drilling it out I prefer to buy .0625 wall with .375 OD and put .0625 deep counterbores in the plates to capture the standoff. Makes things much lighter and simpler to make.
