Car apart, need help: spring clip on Throttle body shaft

Took the TB off and replaced the shaft seals, started putting it all back together to find out I had tweaked the spring clip, aka circlip that holds the shaft in behind the TPS.

Does anyone know what size it is and what type of store/shop usually carries them. I really hope it's not a dealer only item.

Thanks,
Fred

They are a vendor here and in WA I believe so unless it has to drop ship from somewhere you should have it in no time

Call up english racing. Maybe they have one laying around you could buy off them.

On that note, Mitsubishiparts.net is located in Washington. If they have it in stock, you could maybe go and pick it up assuming you can find a ride.

I'm pretty sure it's a universal type part, since lots of cars and machinery use them, I was just hoping someone new the size etc to make it easier when I go looking for one. I can't just take the old one for them to measure since it's bent. I'll need to cart around the throttle body or yank the shaft out again I guess.
Thanks for the replies guys. If I can't source one in the next few hours I'll call up Russell at Mitsuparts.net
