It will probably work just fine for you as is. I doubt DiveRite would make them that way if they didn't work for the majority of folks. I started out with one that had a giant bolt snap on each end before moving to the Garvin clip. Like everything, give it a shot and see how it works out. Then adjust as needed.
thanks, great advice, and I look forward to testing it out! Easy to build another if it needs modification
