Just be careful if you try to increase pressure using the standard Scythe clips without spacers between the motherboard and the clips.

Why don’t you check out your local hardware store for some aluminum angle, (L-channel). The stuff I used was ¾” x ¾”x 1/8 “, (or 19x19x3mm). That would give you enough material to make several clips, (including any mistakes) and it ran me about $5USD. I made the cuts using one of these:

…using a 40 TPI blade. The holes were drilled using one of these:

You could start with the bracket:

The only “critical” dimensions are the hole locations and the clearance between the horizontal “tabs”. I recommend that you start with the holes, and then work on removing the excess material. The finishing work is just filing and sanding. Even without making the braces, you could have a usable pressure-mod.

Just drill-out the bosses and secure the screws with nuts.
