Thanks everyone for the input. What I decided to do is to remove the spring
clip entirely from the reel, and then fold over about a 1/2 inch section of
the film strip and use that to clip it onto one of the cross pieces on the
reel. That seems to work pretty well.

Some of my reels have the metal clip on the inside, others don't. Once
you get used to the process, it really doesn't matter.
