Russell,
The wire clips that Melco is using right now is made out of spring steel
like music wire. I would suspect that the spring effect is to prevent any
chattering from vibration of the wire against the bar from the machine while
it is running. I will send you a scanned picture of what the clips look like
in a moment so you can get an idea of what you are trying to
acomplish...this attaches to the left mounting screw of the thread break
sensor.
