Nice E code!! Yes the clips came out in 1980 for the rolled lip twist pans and were originally to be used as “hold down” clips to be mounted above the ash pan. When Weber redesigned to the full disc pans in 1987 the hold down clips would move below the pan to hold it up. The twist pans were known to “untwist” and fly off in high winds... sweet red!
