Kelly,

Yes, spacers will be required, approximately .250" thick, unless I decide to
connect the two plates via welding, then it won't matter if they touch or
not.  Originally, I thought they would nest together without the need for
spacers.  I like the idea of bolting them so it can be disassembled if
necessary.
