I am after the above clip described as an 8 mm pin in the parts book ideally in stainless.
Can anyone tell me where I might be able to source a couple of these at sensible money?
In the short term I could use a split pin - I prefer to use the original style of clip - not sure what they are an called S pin?

Hi Ted,
These are known as 'R' pins.
Lots of vendors
Model Fixings do them in zinc plate https://www.modelfixings.co.uk/r_clips.htm
Bolt World do them in STainless https://boltworld.co.uk/product-category/fasteners/engineering-keys-and-pins/pins-clips/r-clips/?_gl=1*12jaxfs*_up*MQ..&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIo_PU6beDhgMVnqODBx22nA7lEAAYAiAAEgLXFfD_BwE
I have used both vendors and been happy with both.
Other vendors are out there....

Thanks, interestingly the download parts book shows an R clip at the hub end & a split pin at the frame end!

That's so you can quickly disconnect the hub end to remove wheel. No need to disturb the frame end.
