Sorry I didn't specify and now realize due to the follow up answers - I used aluminum blocks with machine screws. You can loosen and slide the whisker off or remove the screws and take off completely.

I need to go look at mine, they have been on almost 30 years (or more). I don't really remember any more but I think I slid them on. I may have hit them with my fist but doubt it as funds were tight back then and you have right and left to get them on.

How are they installed after the clips are put on? Also what is the preferred location of the clips?
