C clip for actuator waste gate

[modular46]

Does anyone know where to get spare C Clips for the actuator waste gate?

 

[Mr. Michael]

I carry them in the car. I have a load of them if you want me to just mail you one or two. I think my Winzer supplier gets them for me.

I always used an alligator clip . easy to make adjustments , unless you want the stock look . Put it on past the teeth , fits perfect .

Amazon has alligator clips cheap.

I used the Dorman 41017 kit. Granted ya don’t need most of them but it’s cheap & more than likely available locally.

Worked perfect for my wastegate actuator. Plus way easier to work with than the Jesus clip.

These may be correct as well.

Just use an alligator clip.

I lost mine years ago.
I took a small piece of 14gauge copper wire (household wiring with the insulation stripped off of it) and bent it around the groove in the end of the swing valve stud with needle nose pliers. It held up for many years and was re-usable. (It was easier to find once dropped on the garage floor also!)

ENJOY!!!

Thanks everyone. I do not want to use alligator clips. Looking for the replacement E clips that are used on the down pipe.

Alligator here, but I can understand that you want the right thing.

Might be worth checking you local hardware store. ACE Westlake and Bomgarrs here locally carry these in their bulk fastener area. Usually there is an isle that has random stuff like this.

GM part number is 15567924.

Garrett part # 400702-0018 is what you want.

Any Garrett dealer or turbo diesel shop....

might be easier to contact Limit Engineering to ask Chopper to send you some =>>> https://www.limitengineering.com/

(everyone has their favorite shop. you get the idea...)

in the meantime, hardware stores have e-clips which work fine - home depot, lowes, menards, ace, ect. Find them in the pull out drawers, probably a couple in a bag for less than a buck. a couple years ago I grabbed some for a member to have as extra... two for $0.78.

The good ol' reliable roach clip!
Mine had a lanyard on it so I didn't lose it.

Go out to Home Depot and pick up some push on clips. Like the ones they use on R/C cars to hold the body on. Work great.

I've got the original GM one that I'll send you if you wish. Just shoot me your mailing address.

It's just an e-clip, there's nothing special about it.

You can get a box of them at the hardware store for a few bucks.
