My arco winch uses spiral retaining clips to hold the drum on, and the self tailing arm etc. I know the sizes but can't find a supplier of clips that can do small numbers. On the other hand, external circlips are pennies on ebay but may not be ideal for the marine environment. I'm always careful not to lose the clips when I service the winch but wouldn't mind having some spares. Does anyone have any suggestions?
