Thanks for the advice Sandblaster. I have tried contacting these guys before, but no success. It's only 0.8 mm bigger so not a major difference, just wanted to check with someone who has experience in this.
In other news, I got some Boyesen Power Reeds to replace the crappy old ones. My reed block did not have the valve stoppers when i took it apart. Do I have to have them?

stock reeds do require the stoppers...as the stoppers keep the reed petal tips from fluttering, and eventually breaking off. Boyesen and other aftermarket reeds usually use a small strip to hold them on, but with no stoppers.
try calling, or e-mailing Boyesen to see what they suggest.

that should be all you need, as they act as stiffeners....but it won't hurt to ask Boyesen just to be sure/safe.
