keep in mind you will have to sand out the bolt holes with a small dremel sanding bit, alot of the bolts are exactly the size of the hole, powdercoat will stop them from sliding through.

you might have fitment problems with certain things if you machine the hole. i'd sand it.

trust me the machines we use will find center of center and extrapolate the fitment giving the coating thickness... they're accurate to 6 decimal places
