I did not etch the boards, they are through hole plated and a updated version of the WA2EBY that fixes a few errors. What I did not take pictures of was the bottom that I have added solder to the through holes for added contact. I did notice this while working on the boards and raised concern with my local EE/Elmer, all is well and tested.
This is the link for the boards I used:
Well worth it and avoids even having to deal with making the 510 slots bigger as well as a grounding error if you get carried away with the through hole grounding studs.

Thanks for the reply.
