TriggerTech C Clip Size?? Anyone

[gasrat]

Before you ask, I have already attempted to contact Trigger Tech twice to ask this question. I've not been able to find a schematic online that shows the answer either. My question refers to the rod that appears to hold the trigger shoe in the housing of a TT trigger. I took my rifle a part yesterday and noticed the small C clip that snaps onto the left side of rod with the notch in it is missing. This is the same rod that would hold the part to convert the trigger into a bottom bolt release as well. The C clip is what keeps the rod from falling out of the trigger. Hope that is explanation enough to know what I'm referring to. I'm needing to know the size of this clip so I can attempt to source one locally. 100% know a Trigger Tech CS rep can tell me, but two phone calls and emails later, I've still not received a response. Any information is appreciated. Thanks

Ah, not trying to be a smart ass but can't you just measure the shaft (rod) diameter and find the correct clip?

How to measure external circlip size?​

External circlips fit snug around the shaft and press against it instead of outward, unlike the internal circlip.

The best way to find the external circlip size you need, is to measure the outside diameter of the shaft (not the circlip groove). For example, a 30mm shaft will require a 30mm circlip (keeping in mind that the inside diameter of the circlip will measure less than 30mm as it has not yet expanded).

If however, you want to measure the circlip itself to see what shaft it suits, the correct way is by measuring from the outside on one side, then to the inside on the other.

Most if not all circlip grooves and circlips will be machined/made to a standard. Please note if your application has a circlip that is not standard (heavy duty version) then the width and depth need to be measured on the shaft/bore and the circlip.

Refer to the charts below for a simple circlip guide.

Circlips are open-ended metal rings used to secure a pinned connection. This type of fastener is usually made from metal like steel or stainless steel....
