I get it now Grigg. Never had one off and couldn't find a pic of the ends for some reason. Now I see. Putting it in negative made it plainer for me. The flange at the arrows is the pilot for the backing plate you are talking about then.

Agreed on the tubing spacers. Looks very weak.

Spacers you listed are available in custom widths...wonder what a pair would be with a pilot on the end? I doubt my local machinist would do their standard pair for $49.99. LOL
