I spoke with my contact at Redline about the availability of the retaining clip for the Dexter 7-inch brake magnets. He said you can use the Magnet Retainer Clip, part # BP19-001 , on the Dexter 7-inch round magnets. These retaining clips will work on both the 7-inch round and the 10-inch oval magnets.
