Those are called E-clips. Take one into any decent hardware store and you should be able to find one. I have this kit because I've launched or broken so many of them: http://www.harborfreight.com/300-piece-e-clip-assortment-67653.html

Hello All,

On my 90/91 Westy I was replacing the shocks/struts for the rear hatch and while doing so launched into oblivion one of the little circlips that hold the one open end on.

Does anyone know the correct size and metallurgy for these little guys so I can maybe pick one or two out from the hardware store? Or these specific only to that particular connecting point?

Thanks!

Steven

91 Westy
