You can also use a small flathead screw/nut to secure them also. Makes replacement pretty easy


Yup! that's how i've been doing it as well.


I may use some poprivets so the nuts can't loosen up.

I have been doing this for several years now. I built a tool for riveting clips in place, and I no longer use it. A box of 100 6-32 x 3/8" machine screw is about three bucks. A box of 6-32 nylon stop nuts is about five bucks. The screws I have are Phillips head.

X3...the screws & nuts on my clips are still tight after about 3 years.
