Circlips for Spicer 760?

[DAA]

Does anyone have a part #, or a size, for full circlips for Spicer 760 u-joints?

These, basically - https://dutchmanaxles.com/full-circle-snap-ring-kit.html

My front shafts are machined for them and I've used them in the past. But the Spicer kits I've been using come with c-clips. Would like to just buy a lifetime supply bag of the right ones, at a right price .

I picked mine up at a local ace in the hardware section. I took one of the old half circle clips with me and found the closest match.

This thread says 1 3/16", but 30mm clips are slightly thicker for a better fit, more like the Spicer C clips. Even has McMaster part numbers since I know how much you love them.

So, a little looking there. I think the 30mm might be a better fit than the 1-3/16. The Spicer c-clips are .060 thick, the 1-3/16 circlips are .050. But the 30mm are .059.

Might give these a try from amazon https://www.amazon.com/30mm-External-Retaining-Rings-Phosphate/dp/B008QI8UH8

50 of them for $19 delivered. The McM ones are $7.84 for 10 plus "whatever" shipping is . I love the one and only comment on the amazon ones too - "u-joint caps not move now" .

So I think these amazon specials should be good. They look decent. Spec says Spicer C's .060 and these .059. My calipers say Spicer C's .058 and these .057.
