"With older clarinets where the C#/G# tonehole is a plain one like LH3 without a countersunk bedplace, I cut a bedplace onto it so I can install a cork pad there. It only needs to be countersunk until you see a perfectly flat tonehole crown formed (9 o'clock and 3 o'clock being the lowest points on a plain tonehole and cut down to that depth), but no deeper than it needs to be as retaining the maximum height of the C#/G# tonehole is more critical on some clarinets than others."

Thanks for that, Chris. I'll give it a try.
