    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

You can get metric retaining rings from McMaster-Carr. They're specified by the shaft diameter, or you can measure the groove diameter.

Judging from the photo and the ruler, the OD of the clip is just under a half inch (12.5mm), so the clip is most likely for a 10mm shaft (but check the shaft diameter with an open-end 10mm wrench).

You can probably have a bag of 100 clips on your doorstep on Monday for around ten bucks ($6.89 + shipping at McMaster-Carr). Or rummage around your local industrial suppliers and real hardware stores to see if anyone has metric external retaining rings.

You might be able to find one in stock at a decent motorcycle dealer -- these are used on LOTS of Japanese bikes.

Whatever you do, don't bodge a 3/8" ring on there and call it done...
