I have, in a pinch, created a CV clip from a 1/16th piece of piano wire...again....if you can find one on a public holiday.
I cold form them by wrapping them around a jack handle.

They used to come with locking wire in some kits...but use a cable tie temporarily or even permanently

[assuming we are talking about clamping boots rather than driveshaftt circlips?]

Mackie, is this the clip which goes around the shaft and then pushes up inside the CV?
