another little "trick" , in order to insure the bolt holes line up perfectly, drill the plate that is to be tapped, first, with a bit that is a couple of sizes smaller than is required for the tap. Then, clamp the 2 plates onto one another, in the configuration that they would be assembled, making sure the sides are perfectly flush with another....... now use the same drill-bit, and "punch-drill" the second plate. remove the G-clamp\whatever and commence with drilling the right size for both plates, you will find the assembled result to fit like a charm....
