Shoulder bridges - cutting off the back big box?

[Jorran]

Hey Troopers!

 

I was working on trimming my shoulder bridges recently. The instructions that were written on the excess plastic said to trim off the big ridge. There's also a penciled in cut line indicating that I should cut it off (it could be the first or last big ridge, depending on which end you're looking at).

 

Example (taken from TK-9539's EI request thread):

 

 

But it seems like I see the big ridge on the front and back of every single thread I've checked. Am I supposed to cut this off?

Agreed. Find a way to get your shoulder bridges fitted without eliminating such an important detail.

Ok, thanks. The test fittings have been just fine with them as they are, so I was confused by the instruction to cut them off. As always, I'm glad I asked here first.
