Michael: I posted a lengthy response to this on another thread on August 15. The original thread was regarding a kickstand on a Bleriot. Some of the thread won't apply directly since you are using a braze on plate. I do use plumbing gasket material between the kickstand and the braze on. This creates a rattle free fitting and reduces the chance that you'll scratch the plate, reducing the chances for corrosion down the road.
I'll second two pieces of advice you've already received. Placing the bike on boards or books to get the right amount of lean and then measuring the height of those objects (level) and cutting off that amount works very well. Also, don't assume that you need to cut. Try the stand first.
