    Hi,

    Does anyone know where to buy spring clip locking rings as used in B2 gearboxes? I’ve tried bending returns on ordinary snap rings, but I need some larger diameter clips for the locking rings on my Kegresse track mechanism. The gearbox clips are generally 40mm diameter, but I need 50, 60, and 90mm clips in 2.5mm round spring wire. I can buy the wire OK, but forming and tempering is hit and miss.

    Thanks, Tony  (top right is a 90mm clip with 10mm return to radius. The bottom pics are bearing locking rings around which the smaller clips sit.)
