Home Depot hardware, no, Ace hardware selection had the E-clips we needed in that case. The ring had disintegrated off the end of my drivers side lock cylinder, and the wire and lever was dangling loose, and the key turned freely outside. Not so good. Had no idea what it was. called Dodge, they said we don't know what 13 year old cars had in them, try e-clips. Still working now. Ace had a lot of stuff available by the piece, very reasonable. In my experience Lowe's also had a good collection, but I wasn't doing the repair (paid a friend to pull the door of who worked for Toyota dealership and did it for a living). thanks Jim
Looking for small quantity of grip rings for Boxer fans
Hi, All, I'm refurbing some of my DEC equipment and I found some dirty/sticky Boxer fans, no surprise. I managed to get one apart, cleaned and lubed and spinning freely, then one of the grip rings shot off into space. I found this reference... http://www.cirteq.com/pdfs/cirteq_technical_manual.pdf The style in question covered on pages 85-86 (metric then standard) One of the comments is next to a diagram of the correct type... "Lug design for sizes 7-9-11-19-23-27" Based on that, it's probably an NG023, since the shaft looks to be 0.250 or slightly smaller not slightly larger. d1 == 0.236" (shaft diameter) d3 == 0.224" (clip ID) s == 0.039" (clip thickness) Has anyone had to buy grip rings for their fan refurbs before? Do these numbers sound right? -ethan
