No but, it will help the bolt slde through the raceway smoother. You can make your own lapping bar out of a wooden dowell. A diameter of .600" is all you need with 320 grit paper. It works wonders. Take a small file and break the sharp corners on the bolt lugs as well taking care not to hit the machined surfaces.
