Well yes, but considering that it took me about an hour and a half to make the aluminium spacer with files and a jigsaw, a stainless steel one might keep me busy for a while ;). Anyway, I've just ordered some sheet stock [insert tinkering smiley here).

Done. See pics below.

This took a bit longer than I expected as most of the work literally had to be done by hand using various files. Some edge trimming and cutting was done using the bench grinder, the Dremel with cutting disc and a manual hacksaw. Progress was slow. But...

The use of stainless steel dramatically improves stability, i.e practically no wiggle of the clip and much less danger of the flange bit shearing off, as happened when I used aluminium. Also, wear should be much improved. Let's see how well this holds...

Thanks guys :cheers:

This mod is possible, but hardly lends itself to repeated production in sizable numbers. Making the spacer/stop piece requires a lot of manual work (or perhaps some heavy stamping/cutting tooling).

But the end result seems functional and looks the part (if you are willing to overlook some mildly rough finishing).
Cheers!
