I considered the clips from Nick but XK's Unlimited was local so I got the clips from them and yes, the clips fit tightly but I have seen pics where a rubber o-ring is looped around the ends of the clip.

Wow, you were very lucky. A 12DL jack with a curved saddle commands big money these days.
Most specialists (XKs etc.) seem to offer standard s/s clips these days, which although cheap don't look quite like the one Dan has pictured. The standard hardware shop type is shown in my427cobra's first picture. Does anyone make the sturdier-looking one shown in Dan's pic?
