When I did the swap on my 52 I used the clips off my old wheels. After some careful measuring, I found they were too short for the newer wheels. I made some steel spacers out of 1/4" plate. I drilled and tapped the wheels and bolted it all together using JB Weld to be sure things didn't move. I also ground the bolt end off flush with the back side of the wheel. They work great.
One thing I did wrong was to use 1/4" bolts. The clips will take 3/16, but they are spring steel and real hard to drill to 1/4". I had to go buy a cobalt dril bit.
