Hi simon !!!....as far as how tight the clips should be.....Ill draw you a quick picture to show you how mine are right now ( I actually should have taken a picture of my clips after i loosened them but forgot to....grrrrr....LOL...), don't worry about the metal shavings....just put a towel or something in the tube to catch them as they fall. I was very worried about that too, but now I don't care. I've been modifying my scope ever since i got it in December/2004 !!!...well here's my crummy handiwork at the drawing of my mirror clips....I left about 1/16th of an inch in between the mirror itself and the clips. My mirror doesnt rattle in the cell but even if it does theres no need to worry as long as the clips stop the mirror from falling out, you'll be in business!!!!
