Jetting conductor with welded pads on the side

We have 36" conductor joints from Dril-Quip with 2 pads welded near the top of the joint.  These pads stick out 6cm from the pipe body.  There are 8 threaded holes, padeyes are bolted to these pads into the threaded holes.

This allows padeyes to be quickly removed during running but leaves these pads sticking out.

Dril-Quip advises that they have not had any problems jetting conductor with these pads sticking out.  Does anyone have experience of jetting with these pads on?  If so did it go OK, were there any problems that might be attributed to the pads?  Thanks for your help folks.
