    Re: clamshell catches

    It depends on the thickness and angle of any spacers that you put under the bracket. I used a block of black nylon cut to size and angled to suit the body profile and this works OK - also you could rely on the bolt head to provide the necessary resting point for the lever. You need to experiment once the clips are positioned in place. Also I just trimmed my brackets with a hacksaw and then filed and sanded them down with varying grades of wet and dry. It doesnt have to be too technical - but if you have access to additional equipment and processes then go for it!
