The reed stops are the curved metal plates that stop the reeds from opening too far...more important in the days of light steel reeds, as if one of those broke off and got munched my the piston etc...not good. You can leave them in place....it will help the life of the new reeds. You can generally bend them open a bit further than they are stock......if there's no steel strip to put on top of the reeds to replace your reed stops....you can simply cut the 'petals' off your existing stops...or like I said....leave them in.
