    Hi Ron,
    I'd think replacing the clips on 67 (and also 68-74) rings, will be difficult at best.
    The clip on 67-74 rings is sandwiched between the 2 layers of the band that runs around the inner side perimeter of the ring. There's a spot weld on the band on each side of the clip.
    I don't see how the clip can be released (pried out) from between the band layers with the band in place. This means the ring perimeter must be un-crimped, the band removed, the clips replaced, the band replaced, and then the perimeter re-crimped.
    I think it will take some skill and tools to accomplish this. Perhaps the biggest hurdle will be the re-crimp…. it's very smoothly done around it's entire length.
    So?
    Regards,
    Alan

    Here's a picture showing the band, the clip, the spot welds, and the smooth crimp.
    It appears to me that if the clip was removed by sliding toward the center of the ring it would hit the surface of the ring before it was free of the band….. thus the need to un-crimp.
