Anyone run across a metal belt clip that will match up with the holes on the Pro-96? I would love to find one to replace the plastic stock clip.

There was an Icom radio that had a belt clip very similar to the 96 clip. You have to alter the screw holes just a little. Not sure which radio model the Icom is. Sorry.
I bought one years ago and still works great.
Try checking the ScanNewEngland.net website and search there. You might come up with the answer.

I have the one that fit's the Icom 24AT on mine. All you need to do is ream out the holes in it until you can get the screws into the case. I had some short screws that worked fine. I have seen a few 96's with longer screws that are too long to use with a sheet metal clip, so they have to be ground off, or shorter screws used instead. A little loc-tite on the screws is REALLY good idea, also. I found out the hard way about that a long time ago, back when I carred around a Pro-43 all the time.
