Bravo Arie,

I have done the same for 35mm reels. Clips are totally unnecessary once the
routine of loading is learned. In fact on some brand of reels, the clips or
whatever cinching system is used can be a hindrance.
I went a step further and wound a portion of the wire from the removed clip
around 3 of the four central posts to form a *film stop* so that the
inserted leader cannot slip beyond the reel hub.

Joe
