Car door last saturday.  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

Looking for small quantity of grip rings for Boxer fans

2016-12-04 Thread Ethan Dicks
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?
