Default 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

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.

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?

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.

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