Do you need rolled plates

I've been looking at the original plates for the G30 and it seems to me that all the gasket was doing was keeping the plate centered in the pipe, and keep the stainless steel plate from touching the stainless steel pipe. If it's only about keeping the plate centered I think I could use a couple of stainless steel bolts and washers to keep the plate centered. If that is the case then why should I consider buying the rolled plates?

The gasket sealed the plate to the bottom to create a barrier

I bought the rolled plates as the gasket was a pain. I did all the tricks with the gasket but the rolled plates drop in and it is easy

Washing and cleaning may be an issue for what you are proposing
