Default source for clips or sleaves for Hotelier linkages

What T8 did not mention is that the part of the pin that goes through the rod is bent to keep it permanently on the rod.

Very hard to drop into inaccessible cavities once installed.

Look at both of T8's photos to see how it's done.


I wish we could post photos on here like a "normal" forum. None of these solutions offered will work, because the clips are too long and will bind on the wing root rib as the ball joint moves back and forth through it. It is indeed the rotating cam variety of straight L'Hotellier ball connectors, as Scott Williams surmised. The smallest "R-clip" I've been able to find on Amazon is now 22mm long. This still would be too long, I would think. The holes in the wing root rib where the push rods exit are quite small, and the push rods are not centered in the holes either.
