Anyone have a photo or tips on how they go on? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Joe 65 Barracuda 70 Challenger

The stockers (IIRC) are circular, about the size of a quarter. The circular part rides against the lever, while the part that splits the circle goes through the hole in the rod. You have push the split part against the lever a bit as you simultaneously push it through the hole.

No they aren't stock, I'm guessing the positioning of the rods is whats causing his issues & thats all those pictures show... The clips themselves are pretty easy to install, I've always done it with my fingers so I don't see them as the issue....

You must have fingers of steel because these things are a pain. Got them all on except for one that went flying somewhere and now I can't find it. Thanks for the help. If I can't find this one I'll have to order another one. Well, move on to the Z bar I guess. 65 Barracuda 70 Challenger

Now a days I probably couldn't do it my hands aren't as strong & hurt more, but there is a trick to how you apply pressure, kind of a twisting motion with extra pressure on the loop to get it to slide over the rod... Glad you got it worked out... "The Armies of our ancestors were lucky, in that they were not trailed by a second army of pencil pushers."
