Another good picture.
That is a snap ring. The one that fell off resembled a snap ring but it seemed kind of flimsy .
It had one hole in the center of both ends rather than a hole per end.
The E-clip seemed like the easy way out just push it on with some long needle nose and be done with it.
but the thought keeps crossing my mind as you stated how long will it last.
Been busy with work lately so this got put on the back burner.
I might be able to get at it towards the end of the week I'll keep on posting.
I appreciate the help.
I'll post a picture of the clip. It might not be the right one to begin with.
