Hi Gang

 Although I have never had any trouble with my  Spring Clip loosing up on my Float Bowls (dual carb 503), I am wondering if I  should be safety wiring the spring clips?

 Has anyone ever had one loosen up in  flight?

I have never heard of one doing it.

 But they are not fool proof. (Never under estimate a fool...)

I have a spring on my clip that goes around the protusion at the bottom of the bowl. That gives me a little extra protection from the clip coming loose and doesn't interfere with removing the float bowl.  Although I have never seen a clip come loose either.  I do it because the spring was there when I bought the plane.  I can't see any reason to remove it now.
