rocker oil clips keep flying off!

Can someone post a pic of a roller rocker with a oil clip on it.

I think there maybe two styles: one for stock and one for rollers.

I got mine thru summit and they look like a rubber plug thing with wire on both sides to clip on side of rocker arm?

I have CC roller TIP rockers and the summit spider clips don't stay on them worth a dam. I had one come off and fall down into the lifter valley. I was able to retrieve it with a small magnet. The full roller rockers seem like they don;t have any concave area for the legs to clip into.

I would be interested to see a photo as well.

I am currently using a modified beer box to keep the oil from squiting out onto the fenders. With the printed side towards the oil, the cardboard holds up very good. At least long enough to get proper pre-load on all lifters.

You can find an old set of valve covers (preferably TALL ones) and just cut the top off them. Works great to catch the oil while adjust the valves. Full Roller rockers don't usually need the clips, at least mine don't.....
