i biff the plates away dude they all break then slice ya hands ....cut a strip of bike tube looped behind bolt side snatch strap is threaded though rubber and pulled into the hook works great if it breaks its easy as to replace

You are miles better to use one of these bird beaks. You can mount them in any position and work alot better than those spring clips

Hardware, fishing, forestry places sell them or look on the internet
