LF: C-clip for Warn hub

[Richard]

I broke a c-clip in my hub, the one that holds the dial to the cap. It's about 1 1/2", where's my best bet to find one locally? Or does anyone have one I can have? I was hoping to put it back together this weekend.

I've bought them individually at the parts counter at crappy tire. It was smaller though, 1" internal, but they had quite the selection of both internal and external c-clips IIRC. They have a few plastic cases of miscellaneous parts behind the counter. Just make sure you don't get the parts counter newbie who "can't find it in the computer..." :banghead:LOL

CT was useless as usual, but at least the guy didn't ask for make and model this time. I mentioned the parts bin so he went out back (maybe to the shop) and came back a few minutes later empty handed.

(past experience looking for cone filter)
ME: I have a K&N filter p/n, I want to check if you can order it.
NOOB: What make and model is that for?
ME: Doesn't matter, it's custom and I have the K&N p/n.
NOOB: I need a make and model.
ME: But it's c-u-s-t-o-m!
(repeat a couple times)
More experienced guy comes by, to the NOOB: It's custom, you won't find it in the computer.
Turns to me: We can only order stock replacements, sorry.
ME: OK, that's all I needed to know, thanks.

What kind of guy takes a job behind an auto parts counter and doesn't know people customize their cars? :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Got some at OFS, never noticed them before. Not cheap but at least I have them.

Thanks.

Must have been the CT in Kanata. Those guys are always useless.
