Alternate replacement oil cooler retaining clips

Anyone try Dorman 800-801, 5/8" retaining clips?
I'm doing an r1 dual oil cooler install and got some from local parts store for $11. To my surprise they look like they fit correctly.

Test fit and alignment
The pack of clips in various sizes. There's 4 of each size.

Nice find! They look just like the originals. I don't see any reason why they would not work if they fit in there snugly like the originals.

The coating on them is nice too.

Yea, I'm pumped because if i had to spend $200 on new fittings i would've just gone with bigger aftermarket kit and i don't really care for custom parts in the long run.
