I'm not following you on your instructions. I intend to remove the wedge and bolt and cut 1/2 to 3/4 inch off the bottom with the angle parallel to the existing angle and sand it smooth. If I insert it as far as it will comfortably go, I should have a 3-3/4 to 4 inch rise. I will check the bolt length before I proceed to make sure the the threads extend far enough up to tighten the clamp with the shortened length.
