I did this about a year and a half ago in my '77 Midget. I got all new brake
hardware. There was NO WAY I could get the new clips on, and it seemed that
they were too wide to fit next to whatever they were hitting. (Memory is
fading...)
What I did was I ground off the edge opposite the opening just a tad so they
fit where they were supposed to go. I didn't take off too much so they are
still strong. The old clips that I removed were also ground down this way,
but a lot more was taken off than I dared to remove, and they were very weak.
I did not want to reuse them.
They have held for a year of autocrossing!
