E clips

It has been a long time since I've done the rear brakes on the Bugeye but I 
do not remember any problems with this E clip. Are you dealing with this only 
when you rebuild the slave cylinder,or is it encountered when you attach it 
to the back plate? I see VB has a tool called" cyl clip fitting tool" for 
about $20 by the way.  Bob Chamberlain
