The chain is fine...but I ordered the wrong size. Nine links of the chain I ordered equals six of the size I wanted. My error...
How can I straighten out the springs? I can't use them coil uo as is.

When you need a strong, reusable threaded anchor in thin sheet metal or plastic panels, this 200‑piece clip nut and screw assortment delivers exactly that. Each U‑shaped clip nut slides easily over the edge of a panel and provides a secure, spring‑steel thread that won’t spin or fall out during assembly — perfect for automotive body panels, guards, brackets, appliances, and metal enclosures. The kit includes 100 clip nuts in four popular sizes (#6, #8, #10, #12) and 100 matching self‑tapping screws in M3, M4, and M5, giving you the right fastener for a wide range of light‑ to medium‑duty sheet metal jobs. The clip nuts are fabricated from 65 manganese steel for high hardness and fatigue resistance, while the screws are made of 304 stainless steel to resist rust in damp or outdoor environments. You get a single organized package to replace stripped plastic clips, lost panel nuts, or to keep on hand for quick repairs on cars, trucks, trailers, and workshop projects.

Screw head style: Phillips pan head. All screws are fully threaded. Length measured from under the head. Clip nuts are designed for standard sheet metal thicknesses (approx. 0.8 mm–2.5 mm).
Simply slide the clip nut over the edge of the panel so that the threaded hole aligns with the hole in the panel. The spring tension holds it in place. Then drive the screw through the mating part and into the clip nut. No welding, riveting, or adhesive is needed.
Absolutely. Clip nuts are widely used in cars for mounting bumpers, fenders, grilles, trim, and interior panels. The 65 manganese steel provides a strong, fatigue‑resistant grip, and the 304 stainless screws resist rust from road moisture and car washes.
The clip nuts in this kit accommodate standard sheet metal thicknesses from approximately 0.8 mm to 2.5 mm. The U‑slot is slightly wider for #10 and #12 sizes, but all four sizes will work on common automotive and appliance metal panels.
The screws are self‑tapping, so they will form their own thread when driven into a pre‑drilled or punched hole of the appropriate diameter. The clip nut already provides a threaded receptacle, so you only need a clearance hole in the mating part. No separate tapping is required.
