Re: guide plates
If you are running the self-aligning rockers, then no you do not need or want guide plates. If you are running the standard early rockers, you might want to consider guide plates.

Re: guide plates
It looks like the locks are upside down. The hex goes up so you can hold it with a wrench and tighten the set screw.
