Wastegate Actuator Clip

[VitaminT]

I just put on a HKS actuator and when removing the old one the little clip that holds the actuator shaft on the turbo fell to pieces. Does anyone know if this is a standard "e clip"? If so is there a specific size I need to look for?

the HKS unit should have come with one too.

Yep, the new actuator should come with one too. I lost both the old and new ones in about 2 minutes so I used a C- clasp from my girlfriend's necklace. Just opened it up with pliers and closed it around the shaft. Been working ever since:D

I am using piece of a paper clip for now. I bought the actuator slightly used so it did not come with one.

go to your local auto parts store and buy some e-clips. I saw some at my local kragens just the day before yesterday and it was in a red package with the word "help" on it, it was in an assortment. Might wanna give that a try.

I went to the hardware store today on the way home and bought two different sizes. The smaller one worked. Thanks for all the help guys.

Or you could have went my route and used staples.

I used the HELP "assorted wire clips" Just pick out a small one and stick it on there. I tried safety wire and a bent up paperclip, but that didn't work too well.

Thanks for the post Paul. I found the properly sized E-clip and am using it.
