The kit arrived in this printed box! Neat. Inside is the front, back, and a screw with a 5/64 hex head.
To remove the stock clip you need two nickels as screwdrivers.
Then pop the precisely-fit back into place (look at how precise the fit is!), which is printed around a metal nut. I don’t know how the plastic printing and the nut are joined, but it works great.
Flip the knife to the clip side. Drop in the front part of the adapter. It’s countersunk, so keep the countersink up/out. Now twist in the screw about half way. It first threads into the plastic, and then eventually the metal nut. When the screw is about halfway in, thread a wire clip into place around the screw head. (I purchased a black Para 3 clip for this.) Press the wire clip into the slots and tighten the screw until just snug.
Take a look at where the bend of the clip meets the knife scales. Too close, too far from the knife? My first fitting left the gap just a bit wide for my taste, so I took the clip off and gently bent the prongs in just a hair with a pair of no-mar pliers. On reassembly, it was perfect. The conversion is solid, no slop. It functions just like an original wire clip. If anything, the fit of the knife in my grip is a bit better, with a smaller clip in place. A clever and impressive bit of engineering, in my opinion.
