Don't do it.  They are a bandaid for a more serious problem.  If you
think you need them you should read some of Berg's stuff on them and
counterweighted cranks.  There's really a good detective story there.

In the end it is simpler and much more effective to cure the root
problem.  The stock clips are fine in almost all cases.  The cause of
the problem is bent rods and/or flexing cranks that cause a side load
on the wrist pin.
