Default source for clips or sleaves for Hotelier linkages

I use a hemostat for handling the clips as a gentle squeeze locks them
and I can even let them dangle on the end of the clip's retention string.

I got a bag of 50 chrome plated clips for the Hotelier fittings in my
glider.Â* I measured the diameter of the spring wire and made a search.Â*
Here's an example of what you can get from Grainger:

What kind? Chinsy little things that are .004" to large or good ones
like original equipment? Just curious....

AAM--

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but my Google-Fu is weak, and in all
my searching online I have not been able to find a source for these
clips. I'm facing needing to comply with the AD 94-001, and can't find
a source for the clips. Anyone have one? It is for a standard
airworthiness certificated glider.

Williams in California . I ordered some clips a couple months ago they
are available in right and left hand. They are not easy to install
through a ASW 20 access hole but are easily tested . Push the button
down if it depresses all the way it's not installed correctly .
I use a medical forceps to work in the ones that are further away from
the access . They seem to go easier after a few assemblies .
Not cheap but better than pins falling out of your hand into the
fuselage .
