Vitara Build...Lost C clips :(
 

Well, I'm finally getting around to putting together my d16a6 vitara build annnnnnd, i have misplaced all 8 of the pistons c-clips that hold the rod. FJT doesn't carry them and neither do the other vitara vendors, aside from possibly getting some thru suzuki does anyone know where i could get a set?

This sucks

JBweld to the rescue ;)

what size are they? a c clip is a c clip. you can buy them anywhere. i think harbor freight has some that would fit, but i'd probably get them at a real hardware store.
by hardware store i don't mean home depot, i mean a real hardware store.

Re: Vitara Build...Lost C clips :(
 

The pistons are standard 75mm. This is my first full motor build so I really want to avoid a catastrophic failure because of this mishap, what application would a hardware store have the c clips for?

i didn't mean what size are the pistons, i meant what size are the c clips.
i'm not sure what you mean by
c clips come in sizes. there is a place i go to that sells them. it's called marshall's hardware. i don't know where you live but i'm sure you have some kind of hardware store.

Dang, thanks for the links guys, really helpful. If anyone knows the actual size of the vitara c clip please speak up, i want to get this motor up and running asap!

Re: Vitara Build...Lost C clips :(
 

if you are building this motor you better have something that can measure the wristpin.

Re: Vitara Build...Lost C clips :(
 

get them from suzuki.

Re: Vitara Build...Lost C clips :(
 

take wristpin out. find clip that is bigger at hardware store. take piston to make sure you can actually get the clip in and out of the wristpin hole. problem solved

Re: Vitara Build...Lost C clips :(
 

werd...that would be my first call. If they want a ton of $$ then look elsewhere.

Re: Vitara Build...Lost C clips :(
 

I found one site that had them listed...7.95.

I payed roughly the same for all the pistons :P

Re: Vitara Build...Lost C clips :(
 

Poon, I had to do the same when I bought a set of pistons missing the snap rings.

PM me and I will send you a set for cheap. My local hardware store caries the exact size, I used them in my current build and they are perfect.

Pm'd!

------- awesome man, that would help me out so much. Suzuki wanted nearly 8 bucks a clip w/o shipping


Badass.

Re: Vitara Build...Lost C clips :(
 

damm, jago to the rescue. fucken ay!

Re: Vitara Build...Lost C clips :(
 

Got em sent out yesterday...

I can't believe anybody would charge $8 a clip... I paid $0.50 each

Threw an extra one in there incase you lost it or broke something.

Re: Vitara Build...Lost C clips :(
 

---- if id seen this earlier, you could have just had the ones that came in my kit, probably would have even sprung for the postage stamp for an envelope too. I'm looking for a bit different design as i didn't like the ones that came with the pistons.

Re: Vitara Build...Lost C clips :(
 

What's wrong with the stock ones?

Re: Vitara Build...Lost C clips :(
 

look week, they fail to convince me to want to put them in

ninja edit: i prefer the style that coils all the way around

Re: Vitara Build...Lost C clips :(
 

spiralocks or spiral clips
