Cotter pin on wastegate actuator

[Duff73]

Does anyone know what type of pin this is? If there is a standard replacement or something that is an adequate substitute? When I put my THDP on last year it was lost in the process and have been using a makeshift paperclip, although no problems have arisen as of yet I wouldn't mind getting a more permanent replacement.

Any help would be appreciated.

When i bought my GN the previous guy had an small alligator clip on it... Working great for me and easy to adjust the boost when needed.

Can also purchase those clips from any Lowe's or Home Depot in the section with all the bolts and fasteners. Or just use a small alligator clip as mentioned already.

I use a hair pin type spring clip. Smaller than an alligator clip so it doesn't look so out of place and easier than an e-clip to put on and take off if needed.

A throttle cable clip works GREAT!!! If you eve need a clip in a hurry (like in the drak at the track) take the one off of the cruise control canister/cable. Pick up a few at a wrecking yard, or in the HELP section at your local parts store.

I use an alligator clip - been there about 15 years.

I fondly call this the Jesus clip. As I pray to find where it has gone to when I remove it and it shoots off or I drop it.

A dual purpose..

part!
When not "boosting" it can be used as a handy roach clip!
I make them up w/ a piece of fine braided cable, from Lowes. I use a pair of wire crimpers on the clip end, and a loop on the other end, made w/ a loop wire connector.
Won't get lost if it falls off.....

I've actually run without one and not had the rod come off.
