Take one as a reference.

The are round like a donut, with a sliight bend in them and go over the pin, and then you take the bend out to lock them in. I think that they are a GM part. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1,867 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1,867 | If these are the types used on huck brake pivots, you can replace them with C or E clips. I replaced mine with the E clip style for ease of use. Seems like the bent type are a 1 time use item and I broke most of mine upon tear down. If you want to use the originals I think Jim Carters has them. The E clips I used were from McMaster Carr. I could probably send some as I seem to recall buying a 25 pack or so.
