a source for a special snap ring

Been all over the usual sources.....Grainger, McMaster-Carr, Fastenal. I'm looking for a source for INTERNAL SNAP RINGS. O.D. when no load expanded .750+/- .010 .060 thickness steel, any finish.


Nothing I've seen is available in that diameter with a thickness more than .030.

Anybody in heavy trucks or construction equipment with these dimensions? Or close to them........

 

not sure but you can check this place

Use two .030 rings. Will that work ?

 

I don't think a ring would expand/install at that thickness for that small a diameter. Can you double up thinner ones? Used to do that on certain piston/wrist pin locks. Speaking of, can you use a spiral loc? They are near impossible to remove.

 

Spiral locks won't do it. They are to replace the wire type retainers in a set of hydraulic lifters that have been converted to solids.

 

Here's a form to request a size.
