Are these for the raceprooved clips or all your own design. I like them. Are you considering making a few sets up?

I would have a set of those, was out for the first time in the sun on Sunday and took the roof off and just could not be bothered to get allen key and faff around, they would be so much easier yes

Hi Neill,
I would also like a set if you planning to make a batch.

Hi all

I am using probolt titanium m5's might get them a bit longer, and I made the d rings. Form a list and I'll get some prices, clips are racetech direct. NO PROFIT on a cost basis mods.

Ps the bolts are a work of art!

Just wondering if the racetech and raceprooved clips are the same. Would these work on both?

My understanding is they come from the same supplier, but they should work. They are a standard M5 bolt (although titanium) Trying to source some d rings.

Not wanting to pee on some great engineering, but have you considered a thumb bolt. I have used something similar on my new window clips but they had a black plastic thumb head for added protection. I chose to use them as I was tired of hearing the rattle from the metal ring esp. at speed. They are on fleaBay and the link is somewhere on an old post.

Each to their own, these were originally just for me. The bolts in small qty are about a fiver each, and the clips are free as I have them in the garage. The bolts are titanium race spec bolts.

Can you really hear the clips rattling, I don't think I could hear the world ending with the engine running.........
