Got my new clips and ball studs. They look just like the OEM parts. These new clips are very tight. I guess the old ones had bent open or made that way.
Anyway, floating the clips is pretty easy to do. I used 4-40 x 1/2" long pan head phillips screws, one flat washer under the locking nut (back side). Just back off the screw until it just can slide left and right a little.
Looks like the distance of the ball stud to the clip is just about perfect to clear the screw heads. I was thinking I may need to put a washer under the stud but don't think it's necessary.

Just put on those ridiculously expensive stainless steel "D-e-l-o-r-e-a-n" letter inserts in the rear fascia. I've always liked them, but just couldn't bring myself to spend the money on a decorative. So the wife got them for me as a Christmas present! She's awesome. Having a significant other that's supportive of my DeLorean habit is a real plus!
I took mine for a nice cruise . Best winter buffalo by has seen! Didn't have to put the cars away this year .
