Great question @1998_K1500_Sub. I had to look at the bracket and think about it for a while when designing the mounts to come to the same conclusion - they are there to 1, center the bolts, and 2 transmit the load to the bracket without pinching the casting under the clamping force. I wonder if thermal expansion rates between the various materials is accounted for by them as well.
The upper 2 bolts are on the sliders and yes, they are employed same as factory. The bottom hole, well, I lost the slider. I did however shim the spacers with shim stock until there was 0 play to alleviate as much of the pinching issue as possible. I am much happier with how this came out and if anyone wants a bracket I have the files to make duplicates!
