Default Advice needed: New clutch with a chipped puck, what to do?

I've had a Clutchmasters stage 4 clutch waiting for install for a while now. Its been sitting in a box with the clutch plate "seran-wrapped" to the pressure plate, just like it shipped.

I took it out for show and tell today and LI-S4 noticed that a bolt on the pressure plate had chipped off a piece of the clutch material thats bolted to the clutch plate.

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/39123/chipped_clutch_material.jpg">

This picture was taken edge on with everything still wrapped together. If I clean up the corner a bit will I be ok? Or would installing this be a recipe for disaster?

Thanks guys!

Default your picture sucks

but it should be ok if it's a tiny corner piece. just clean up the edge where it cracked, with a file.
