Default Saff kit, clips

Anyone get some proper clips made up after? Remember someone saying they was going to do it. Now i know its only simple, but i havent got the will, the time or the materials to make these up. So want to just hand over some hard earned cash and get some clips that wont snap as soon as you put them on the car

Yeah the ones that clip on the sils and you rivet to the kit. I have bought 3 sets of clips now and they arent cheap. They keep freaking snapping and i dont know why!! Its not like my sill has blown or anything. urgh.

Common prob with the saff.

Tony yeah but give it a week and look underneath and i bet a load would have snaped I have bought each side 2twice now! lol

Rich true worth a go, but tbh i want some more durable than this clips. Suppse just l shap bracket drilled ot sill and the bonded to sill would do. However seems bit of cowboy job and drilling sill could lead to rust getting in
