wondering if anyone has one ? Can't find any of mine . Did all Fox 35's come with circlips for wrist pin?  Dumb question I know but recently was given quite a few fox 35's . All were filthy , gummed up and frozen . Into crockpot they went for 12 hrs. Most loosened up enough to turn crank so I tore them completely down . Not one of them had any type of wristpin keepers , all pins pushed out easily. I always thought all fox 35's had wristpin keepers , so I tore 2 of my better running fox's down , one had wristpin keepers other didn't !  Any help greatly appreciated  Thanks in advance, Ken

Ken, Thanks for the reply . The part about wristpin scoring cylinder has me sorta worried now . I checked all liners and none are scored , so I guess I'm lucky . Pistons look fine also . Talked to person I got motors from and he thinks he bought them new in mid to late 60's . Claims that none of them were ever taken apart , that he lost interest in c/l early 70's ,put motors in 2coffee cans and forgot about them until he heard me running one the other day. All parts are now cleaned, back plate gaskets made , some head gaskets will be put back into service and a few new ones made from beer cans . Guess I'm on a quest for wristpin keepers now .

Try this one.

        Look at your pistons and see if they have grooves or not. If they have grooves, they should have clips. They are easy to make with some practice. Take a length of 3/32" brass tubing and with a razor saw, cut a slot in the end about 1/8" long. Take some .010 to.015" music wire and put the end in the slot and wrap it around the tubing. Use a good pair of small side cutters and cut the cross piece to length and the circular part to a proper length . Teak for proper diameter and test fit in the piston. .010" wire works best I think but I have used .015". With some practice you can make some up in a matter of minutes. if you slip and one goes flying off, you can make another faster than you could find one, if you could find it! I find that using hemostats or forceps to handle them makes the job easier. Just kind of follow your nose and figure things out as you try making them.
