The bolts are .188", indeed. Most brackets that actually get installed on something have clearance around the holes.
I'm just saying, that's the way I did it, and the extra .013" clearance on 8 holes in a rect pattern wasn't a problem. There isn't any "slop" in my brackets installed... And it makes installation a bit easier.

Are you sure about that? All of my AN3 bolts are closer to .188" in diameter. I wouldn't want any slop there either...
