Z bar spring clips

[rsw0331usmc]

The spring clips on the z bar to hold the pedal rod and clutch rod are primitive. I've lost 2 already after being certain they were already seated. Does anyone know of a more secure clip or perhaps an external snap ring would work better?

Sounds like excessive flex. I never lost one launching on slicks. Check your motor mounts.

To answer the direct question- no. You would have to change the linkage style. Most who get that involved go hydraulic.

I know where you are coming from, those clips are a pain, seems like there should be a better way. That being said, once you get them in the right spot they do seem to work. I snapped a ball stud off once and the clips still held

Maybe try an X-washer

Thanks for the input. I can't fathom that a snap ring would not work as long as it fits properly. I'm going to try it today.
