Can anyone tell me the size of the e-clip required for the actuator rod on the gt17 turbos? I've dropped mine down the back of the engine somewhere and now lost so need to get another.
Thanks

I just use lock wire as I have lost loads. Plus it's much easier.

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

You must have shares in lockwire Si!

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I've never used lock wire before can you give me an idea of where to buy and how you would use it in replacement for such a clip

Did you do that with the proper pliers?
I have some used by steel fixers on a building site. Could probably make that work.
