I'm going to chop the protruding end off two of the bolts to use with the Hope RX4 calipers which still are not installed on the bike. Using the spacer for 160 mm rotors vs OEM 140 mm rotors makes installing these calipers a bit more interesting than just bolting them on. One of two bolts on each caliper bottom out in the mounting hole and so two of these will be sacrificed to see if I can get it to work.
Ironically enough, I will not need the clips if the bolts work. Parts were cheap enough and working on the bike is one third of the fun.
As an aside, A-Main cycling has a nice selection of small parts and $1.99 flat rate shipping for anything which fits inside of a small padded envelope.
