So far you're the only one who responded to this, so yours sounds good to me.

Yeah, I know that paint willl build up in them, but I need something to start
with, so I'm going to try some of those sizes out and let everyone know when
I'm done. I was hoping that maybe Russ might have done this once or twice at
the dealership many, many years ago and wrote it down, seeing as the clips
are the same as a 68 and later bug.

Always a good idea, Thanks for the help.
