Ditch the circlip.............

I'll bet the circlips in the 'bargain box' are too wide to fit in the groove of the pin. Ask me how I found that out. And using an R clip to save 60p?

You missed the point! It's not about saving .60p.

An 'R' clip can be-used more times than a circlip (if you find it when it flies off) PLUS you can take it off much easier especially on the road without circlip pliers.

Thanks for the tip Baza, I used a split pin,
found that the R-clip I had was slightly loose
and was worried that it would be liable to drift out.
Could have wired up the end but then it complicates removal.
