Passenger Door Internal Locking Spring Clip

Post by Peted7202 »

I'm looking for the spring clips on the internal door locking No. 91 on the drawing AAA1450. Anyone know where I might obtain. Tried all the usual but not available

You could probably get a general purpose 'e-clip' that will work well in that application.

I am pretty sure that the type of clip (R type) in the link above is incorrect and will not fit.
The 'R' type clip is a re-usable replacement for a split pin. It is not meant to wrap around a grooved pin.

You can try them, but I think you'll struggle to make it work.
Those are R Clips, normally used by the straight side going through a hole on a bar.

The clips on the handle are usually termed 'horseshoe clips' to go around a slot in the circumference of a bar.

An external C Clip might be more appropriate.

Best of luck though.

Is it similar to the thing I call an 'omega clip'?

I'm new here and know nothing so forgive me if I am very wrong!

Does anyone have an extra one? Here in the States, the locking left hand door is not as common. I'm sure I have either a loose one or an extra lock assembly to take one out. If you can't find one over there, determine what the postage is and I'll send you one.

Similar but not quite. Those are classic Window Winder or door handle clips, which are far too big. They are designed to fit fully on, as it were.
The Clip on the locking lever has a further bend, this leaves a hoop to get hold of to remove/fit it.
The rod is held by the middle section, which I've indicated in highlighter yellow.

I have come across these clips in another application. If only I could remember what...

Does it allow the handle to turn and function when fitted into the assembly.... :-?
