Crimp Style Retaining Rings

[dgmpam]

I am currently working on a Blackhawk S23 floor jack. I am in need of some of the WA/AAR crimp retaining rings that keep the front wheels on the axle and that hold the lifting roller on and keep the sides tie rod in place. Does anyone know where these type retaining rings can be purchased? I have located some manufacturers of them, but they sell in amounts of 1000 pieces. I only need a total of 10 combined. Thanks for any help.

I would just get snap rings, unless you're trying to make it a correct restoration.

I cut lock washers, hammer them flat.

Thanks all for your suggestions. I do want to try and keep the jack as close to correct as possible. Fastenal does not list this type of retainer ring. I will give the lock washer a try though. They are similar in size and all. Thanks Milt for the information.

Try http://mcmaster.com. Do a search on crimp retainer, or retaining ring. Their minimum piece count are reasonable, though you'll probably have enough left over to do it several more times.
