Hi all
Well there I was carefully assembling my oil pump and the intermediate gear circlip retainer went PING! and has now dissappeared. :cry:
So can anyone help me with the size please as the parts manual just says 'circlip'. I think the shaft diameter is 21/32" and the internal groove diameter is 9/16". Which size do I ask for?

Regards
Jerry

Does this sound like it? 15 1 CAR40181 SNAP RING Circlip, Drive Shaft Seal, Years: 01/01/1957-12/31/1964

Go to vugot.com. Follow your nose via Fordson > Parts to the Dexta online parts list and look for your part. Looks like the part# has been superceded.

Suggest you phone Dave at Vugot (01258-486209) and ask him to send you one. He's a v helpful guy
All the best :wink:

Spoke to Dave as sugested by Bensdexta, he was sorry but he couldn't help. Measured the internal diameter again after gringing down the sides of a pair of calipers so they bottomed in the groove and it came up with 1/2"!!
Tried the internet - Yes if I wanted 340 assorted or 50 of that size only for £8-10.00.
Went down to the local car accessory shop and bought two for 20p!! - problem solved!
Cheers
Jerry

For future ref, was CAR40181 SNAP RING Circlip, Drive Shaft Seal, Years: 01/01/1957-12/31/1964 the correct part?
