The replacement shear pins included have r-clips rather than threaded ends with lock-nuts. Any issues for seen with the R-clips hanging in there?

The bolts are easier for the factory process. They should both shear at the same force point. The R-Clips are perfectly fine to use and what you would get if you ordered replacements from Yarbo.

Just curious if anyone has had any issues with the R-clips falling out. Hopefully not🤞

No issues. Replaced mine last month and works fine. I wish they did have the threaded end with the nut instead of the clip.
