Is this the original design ?
I have a hole in the pin that looks to accept a split pin type arrangement ....
However the manual indicates it's a clip :/
Anybody with a picture of the original ?

don't have a picture, but the original clip is more like a single piece of spring wire bent into the circlip shape, rather than the type shown on minispares if yours has a hole drilled for a split pin, then that's been done by someone who lost the original clip |

The double wound wire clip is a special wire clip which has fallen into dis-use. |

All of the above is correct. I just lost one while trying to press it into its groove. I have a small collection of E-clips that will work if you would like some. But will lose you concourse points. |

Thanks gents ! I ordered and have 2 on hand , but they just don't fit well and I couldn't remember what the originals looked like as its been a year since I pulled it apart ! More likely I lost them in the zinc plating process.... Any body with a picture of what's supposed to be there or is it not worth being that finicky ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Lost one fitting the helper spring and they are not common - like MKO has none. Can you let the site know if you have any success? |

 So I found one of these. Looks very similar to the diagram. However it's a valve collet retainer clip of a cylinder head. If this is the same clip that can be used on a hydro spring retainer, then fantastic we found a source. I have 20 or so ! However there is a little problem. Seeing as my helper spring pin doesn't have a groove in it any more I'm at unable to confirm that this clip is of use. I did put it on as a trial and it seems to be of sufficient circumference. Maybe someone can confirm whether this is going down the right track or not Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

In DavidE's photo, it's the A1200 clip that looks like a "c" inside a "c". Good try though! Bill |
