Manual Top Clips

[Jim Kueneman]

After finding the clips that are available are junk I modeled my own and now have them on Shapeways to buy. I have no markup and no guarantee but they are working great for me. I would get the finer (Premium) finish ones. These will grab and hold

you will need a one 1/8” x 1/4” and one 1/8” x 1/2” rivet for each.

Thanks Jim. Are you referring to the "Premium" material? I see no other reference for choosing finer build quality.

A little late on this, I made mine from a sawsall blade using my broke one for a pattern.
