I think I may have confused things when I mentioned 'clips'. I think you thought I was talking about brass rail butts, but I meant Billings flanges. The kind with the .....(how do I describe the clip?...) The clip is shaped like two upside down letter Y's with the bottom of the two letters joined to form a channel through which passes the centerpin.
