Sometimes better late than never really does apply. As an update to the above post I finally got around to fitting the new hinges to my front and rear clips and have a couple of comments.

Firstly the installation was a snap, the only items I needed to address was reaming out the bolt holes that the frame attachment bolts went through, and this was only slightly. The reason was that I used the same bolts that were supplied by RF for this purpose. Secondly I had to adjust the hight of the arm attaching to the clip by about 1/2 inch to bring the at rest hight of the clip back into alignment. I think total time spent on installation was less than an hour.

The result is great, removing the clip now takes only a moment and adjusting the clip side to side only requires undoing two screws, lifting the clamps and pushing the clip were you want it. Without a doubt this change makes working on the car easy. You don't realize how much c*&%^ you went through with the clips when you needed to work on the car untill you do this modification. For what it's worth every RF owner should consider it.
