Supplier for minature E clips

[gerry woodhouseParticipant @gerrywoodhouse62190]

Hello modellers!

I'm looking for a supplier of E clips. These sprung metal clips are 'C' shape and clip into a groove on a shaft and are used to retain the shaft or perhaps a wheel or bearing onto the shaft etc.

I'm looking for four off E clips to fit in a 0.8mm diameter groove on a 1.0mm shaft. Groove is about 0.030" wide. Outside diameter of these E clips is about 3mm.

Cromwell Tools supply these clips down to size 1.2mm, in boxes of 200 for about one penny each clip.

Does anyone know where I can purchase some new E clips to fit the 0.8mm diameter groove?

Thanks everyone, Gerry

Hi Gerry

Worth looking on eBay – just searched for 'e clips' and 0.8mm listed by GWR Fasteners – various pack sizes and sizes – third item listed on my search. There are probably other suppliers listed.

Good luck.
