Just looked at P&P and it's only £1.95 I thought it was £4.95 so no big deal

I've heard it can be a bit fiddly to change line clips so here's a tip from TopgunAdams 
Just a tip when fitting the line clips, I made a small tool that makes the job a lot simpler. Get a piece of spring metal or plastic say about 2" in length by 1" wide 1mm thickness, cut a slot in the centre of the bottom section approx. 2 mm in width, (this will allow the line clip to go through this tool) allowing you to compress the spring back and give you easy access to fitting the retaining clip in the recess. Job done. Compressing the spring is the hard bit, but this makes it a whole lot simpler and easier

I've just fitted 1 of the clips to my 5500BR and it was fairly straight forward and the clip does not interfere with the line guard using Technium Black in 15lb. Great tip from TgA, thanks for posting it Bob, I used a old bank card.
I did mine with the line on the reel and ran into a problem in that the button head came off the rivet so had to strip enough line off the reel to be able to punch out the rivet stalk. The SCR clip spindle has a much smaller bore than the hole for the original clip so the SCR clip doesn't always return home straight away, but thats a small price to pay for a usable line clip.
