Keeping you all in the loop... I have revised these both the 02 and 03 files for these clips.

After some testing and fit-out I realized that the 03 clips may need some more length to them to install into wider bodies. I apparently based the leg for the 03s on the 02s, not taking into account the fact that the 03 chassis is around 0.14" narrower on both sides.

The previous design should still fit most bodies though and if anyone runs into an issue where they come up short, please post about it right away!

I have checked them with the 599 and the Vette and they seem to have enough length for both of them:

Vette


The 599 is one of the widest out there so I'm hoping this is just me being too uptight about my designs! They should fit into both cars without issue. Either way, I am all about getting these designs to the best they can be so I had to update them.

I really like the lock on the clips I have too, but I really think it could've used just a little more bite to it so I did increase the tightness of them for this revision.

Once again, if you have an issue with the previous version of the 03 clips coming up short, send me pics and I'll do my best to help out!
