I have noticed that even though the 8877 socket mounted on an aluminum chassis, 
folks still install the gold colored aluminum socket "ring" with the square 
opening on the chassis as well. (Take a look at the WD7S site for lots of 8877 
photos).

I simply mounted the socket with the standoffs and the grid finger stock 
directly to the my aluminum chassis. Should I mount the gold colored ring too?

What was the gold colored ring originally for and why is it there?  

Thanks!
