Aldon 4,828 #1 Posted May 11, 2016 Are the retaining clips in the attach-a-matic assemblies? Like the one retaining the spring in pic? I need a few and I have a box with standard sizes and none fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doc724 925 #2 Posted May 11, 2016 My experience is that they are standard sizes. I needed a few in my C141 restoration. Brought the old ones to the hardware store and matched them to the ones in the box. As I recall, the clips are sized by the shaft, not the groove diameter. If my memory is correct, you want one for a 1/2 inch shaft 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
