Diaphragms: What would you do?

In short, how do you mount ALM diaphragms?
I'm in a situation where I'll have to either file the top of the frame down to match the car, or file the bottom for coupler clearance.
Is there a best practice for this?

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

It depends on the model in question. Kato, you remove all existing diaphragm relief. MTL, you fill the channel with styrene strip. Atlas/RivaRossi, you remove all existing detail. Lima/model power heavyweights, remove existing detail.

It's for my P70s (Lima/MP) and the Hell Gate B60b and BM70bk stuff.

So Bryan, you say remove what's there already...you're saying to remove that whole lip and mount the frame flush with the car side?
