You won't ever need these plates since the shoes they're made for don't exist anymore. OTOH- the single plate (without the raised lip) will make a stronger support for the screws, and for a smoother entry surface for your sole. Don't sacrifice some utility on these pedals saving parts for some future use that will never happen.
