Advance post e-clip size
DomP:
I'll admit it, I'm a fool! I was disassembling my 5b550 advancer when one of the retaining e-clips shot off across my garage. No amount of magnet searching has found it yet so im asking you kind folk if you know what size I need to buy and if they are different to off the shelf clips? Measuring suggests 4mm.
If based on rebate diameter I think its 3mm.
Bryanj:
VERY carefully remove the other one and use an undamaged drill shank to measure the circular "hole", that is the size to buy exras off for the 3 that will follow the first one.
TIP
Assemble it inside a plastic bag
DomP:
That is a great tip Bryan! Hopefully metric, a set of 300 odd various sizes is only £6 on ebay so the magnet search has been officially called off as of 1900hrs

Almost certainly, in an effort not to be beaten I've stuck a load of neodymium magnets to a bar to wave over the floor...still no joy
