I have several auto advance units I’d like to rebuild. I’ve followed threads dealing with suggestions for springs, but the clips are a mystery to me.
The posts on the advances measure 4.4mm wide and the closest sized e-clips I’ve found are at McMaster Carr but they have an inside diameter of 4mm, and they are listed to fit posts of 5-7mm. https://www.mcmaster.com/98543A112/
I can‘t figure out how to measure the diameter of the groove but 0.4mm difference doesn't seem sufficient to me, or is it?
Can someone confirm if the clips are metric, or if they are imperial.
if anyone has thoughts...
Thanks,
Adam
