I'd like not to reuse the circlips in my rebuild. I've called AA and they unfortunately haven't gotten back to me even after speaking to a sales rep. Are there anything special about these or can I order something of the same size and run with it?

There isn't too much lateral pressure on the clips. Type 1 had a wire clip. |

I disagree.. At BDC and TDC changeover the pins are loaded laterally.
Use proper fitting clips in both diameter and thickness or you will have a bad day. |
