    Yes those xmas clips will suit your guards very well, thanks for sharing that with the thread! If you get a chance will you post up a pic of your 1" BL set? That way I can tag your pic for future reference for those who also need a BL set

    Anyone have a link to similar clips to the stock ones that can get here sooner than a month? All the ones im finding are coming from china and take 4-6 weeks

    Killer pic :quickdraw: thanks for coming thru on that for me!!
    Hey Rob, I'm with ya on the whole China headache believe me but your going to want to steer clear from an OEM style/size clip. The 'China xmas clips' are firm and sturdier than you may think. You'll need heftier clips to support the weight of your heavier guards. Consider a different style push clip, like plastic screw rivets ect Amazon and eBay have tons of options aim for about 8-12mm stem width. The mounting options are so versatile
