Annoyed!! retaining spring clip broken :(

[chris71920]

Went to put the axle back together today after a broken Birfield (thanks to Scott for the replacement)

But now Ive come to put the joint back on the shaft, its broken the small retaining spring clip.....I then used the old one on my original shaft, the same!! I cant find anywhere that sells the things, so now cant get on!

Any ideas where to get them?? They're the "round wire" type, not the ones with eyes at the end

No worries! Damn I put that one on there for you as the one what was on the shaft was broken I should have some more, ill have a look for you. If not you should be able to get them from Suzuki.

Its one of those bits that nowhere seems to sell!! I was hoping to get it all done today but if I have to wait I'll have to wait I guess lol

Thanks for the offer mate, all sorted now

Found a scrappy that had a big pile of random driveshafts so had a rummage and found a few clips SLIGHTLY thicker than stock, they fitted a treat and closed up in the groove perfectly, and as they were a little stronger the shaft tapped in no problem

Nice one, glad you got it sorted matey!
