I was sure I saw a thread on this somewhere, but the search function seems to pull a significant vacuume on my keywords. I managed to sproing two circlips into the atmosphere upon removal and have yet to find them. Does anyone have a source on these or an alternative part idea?

3.0L 12V V6 Piston Rod wristpin retaining circle clip.

I've got some...How many do you need? I can put 2 in an envelope for you. PM you address. I think I bought the last set in the US a couple of weeks ago. They are still available, but most supplier don't stock them and have to order.

I got your PM and address. I thought I'd bought a full set of 12. It turns out I only have 9 new ones and need 10 for the 2 engines. I'm sending you 2 good used ones in the mail today.

Good luck. I put my pistons, and rods together this morning. I still need to put the clips in one side. Next step is to mount the rods on the dry crank and plastigage the rod -crank gap. I hope to have my 2 short blocks assembled by the time I get the heads back.
