The attachment of the early alum bodied dist clips is really quite 
fragile. The later alum dists came with a completely different design 
that is quite rugged.

I think I made hinge pins from exact sized piano wire (available at 
hobby shops) and peened those pins in place.  I expect that to be 
much more durable than the original concept. I got the replacement 
clip from an early Type 1 alum dist that I was willing to strip.
