You should be able to get them at just about any hardware store.

Just make sure you get the right size. Maybe take one along so you can match them up for sure.

S.A.E.W.O.T.

what else could i use in sted of e-clips?.... well i don't have any more cuase i was runn my car with my the bumper off and i hit some things and both e-clips broke off!!!![:@][:@][:@] so if i get 2.5 mm e-clips there gonna be 2.5 right?[X(]

I have screws on the back a-arms of my pede... Im going to do the same in the front. There pretty shwee.

2.5 should be 2.5... and just keep your receipt in case they happen to be the wrong size.

Another idea - pull the hinge pin out and take with you to make sure that the clip you find fits it.

i hate ECLIPS with a passion... they are near impossible to get on and off... cant you just buy them at your local hobby shop?

S.A.E.W.O.T.

YEA....but there 6 bux for 10!.... a total rip off.... i though i might get cheaper' at a "home hardware" or sumthin....

iliketobreakthings

$6 FOR 10!!?!?! no way, what hobby store is this??!

S.A.E.W.O.T.

7 point mall hobby village!!!.... thats the closest but it's 6 bux 4 10.... really... i can go 2 leading edge hobbys but it's like 2 hrs away!!!!.... [:@][:@][:@]

aliens8mycow

Your hardware store will have them for about 10 for a dollar!

And by the way, I LOVE e-clips! All you need are curved needle-nose pliers and you can get 'em in or out of anywhere!

S.A.E.W.O.T.

i but mine on with my fingers!!!!...lol i need pliers 2 take them off tho....!

aliens8mycow

well, you're gonna have to go get some before you can put 'em on with your fingers! [X(]

S.A.E.W.O.T.

I just use needle nose pleirs and shove them on. To take them off I use a tiny flatbladed screwdriver, it works great but sometimes one goes flying and gets lost.

There harder than they have to be. The screws just screw on and off... they never pop off when runnin'!

S.A.E.W.O.T.

yea... that happens 2 me alot... cuase if i can't get them off with my fingers i jus use a screwdriver!!!.... ahhh 2 i ever hate that!!!!.... i've lost live 4 already!!!![:@][:@][:@]

hes talking about a captured hinge pin like on the T4s ahahah
like that

jakjr

My Feedback: (18)

Cant make heads or tails of that diagram, but I know exactly what 45's talking about, the hinge pins hes talking about are like a hingepin, but with a screw head on one end and a small threaded area right next to it, I have them on my rad2.

nice..... i'll give it a try!

eightturnt4

he is trying to show that the head of a small screw overlaps the part where the hinge pin goes inot the a-arm. when you put a small screw really close to teh hinge pin the head of the screw blocks the hinge pin in. that probably made absolutely no sense but oh well.

S.A.E.W.O.T.

Im lost!!!![X(]... i sorta get it!... thats a start![X(]
