circlips (retaining rings) - where to buy by mail?

California · Sep 17, 2009

I could use a couple of internal circlips (retaining rings) to keep u-joint cups in place. Google shows only industrial-quantity sellers.

Can anyone suggest a mailorder source?

If you get over to Sac, try Applied Industral Tec in West Sac. They seam to have had a good supply on hand. Also Kaman Bearing couple of miles away has them. Mail order, McMaster Carr is usualy fast to ship. MSC works well, warehouse in Fallon.

Thanks Chris,

The driveline shop in West Sacramento told me the snap ring I botched was unavailable and they had no suggestion where to find another.

But they found a set by the time I picked up the driveline.

Problem solved. Thanks everybody!

Some one hear on TBN called it "the Sears Roebuck of Industrial Supply" and I agree with them!

I have been using them for years, it is truly amazing what they have-and how fast they get it to you for a very reasonably price.
