That's pretty mild compared to what I was saying as I went through a $4 box of English sized ones

I know what you mean!


jt20 - maybe, but the OEM part was an eclip, and after finding out what happens when that one little part fails (full throttle) I decided to go with the e-clip. I am a bit concerned that the only metric eclips I could get were carbon-steel rather than stainless, but hopefully they are strong enough. I am not too worried about the carbon-steel rusting under the hood!
