Only if you want to use an aluminum spool.

Two different approaches. The support cover will support the bearing cap to keep it from breaking and give support to the whole housing to keep it from deflecting. The steel bearing cap will not break and adds some strength to the housing because of the bigger bolts and larger footprint.

Just adds more rigidity to the housing and will not break.
