| I have seen on here that people often use clips to attach stomp boxes to the legs of their steel. As someone who has not messed around with making pedals and is not familiar with their construction, what would be the best way to attach the clips to the actual box? Also, are there are any options for clips that people particularly recommend? |

You can make your own from conduit, but I like these:

You can buy them from the forum store by clicking on the accesories header above then looking for Show Pro or you can probably buy them direct from SP.
It depends on the box you have and how the components inside are arranged how you attach them.
My own personal preference is to drill the holes in the back of the stomp box cover, assuming it's removable, and rivet or screw the clip to that from outside the clip. This way, the screws, rivets don't interfere with clipping the unit on the leg.
Just be sure you have clearance for the electronics so you don't touch or short anything inside. |

Just a little warning, If your guitar has aluminum legs that are chrome plated. Do not use metal clamps on the leg. Use plastic clamps or plastic conduit clamps.
I bought a steel with aluminum legs, That someone had used a steel clamp with a rough place on it. Here is the result, Many Boo Boo's
