Shane,
Got the new clip, and pop riveted it on. Must have taken me all of 2 minutes! Just completed roasting 20 pounds of various beans, and I LOVE the new clip!!!! No more fiddling around with the pin, just pop it out, flip the clip, dump the beans, and on to the next batch. As you mentioned in your review, a bit less noise, and much faster turnaround times between roasts. Still regret not going with the 6 pound drum.
Best Wishes,
Jay Michels
