Multi-colour hotend hits the bulldog clip. (no replies)

I Finally upgraded my mono-colour reprappro mendel to a multi-colour one, all works!

But when I print something the Bulldog clips of the hotbed often block the carriage, resulting in errors in the print.
Anyone had the same problem, and what was your solution?

I tried smaller prints, but even then often one of the hot-ends manages to hit the clips.

I tried to have the clips out of the route of the carriage, but then sometimes on of the other hot-ends manages to hit the clips anyway!

Is there an alternative for the clips?
