On my  90/91 Westy I was replacing the shocks/struts for the rear hatch  and
while
doing so launched into oblivion one of the little circlips  that hold the

Does anyone know the correct size and  metallurgy for these little guys so I
can maybe
pick one or two out from  the hardware store?   Or these specific only to
that  particular
connecting point?
