I must be beyond ****** because I just mounted MKS clips to Sylvans and didn't even notice that I could do this!

It might give you a couple of mm's more clearance against toe-verlap(toe overlap).. maybe?

I'm going to try it, won't hurt!

Now I've got to go out and look at mine.

I have mine mounted to the inside. I tried it both ways but I thought having them mounted to the inside was aesthetically pleasing.

They are meant to mount on the outside.

I don't know if your sylvans and my sylvans are different, but the clips would certainly not fit properly on the inside of mine.

Hm, all this talk on how the sylvans should be mounted makes me want to go check mine right now.
