Maybe I'm having a senior moment, but I seem to remember a post from about a week ago concerning the little circlips that keep the shaft from pulling through the motor  -

I am looking for a source for some of these clips - I'd just like to have a supply on hand, of both 4 mm., and 5 mm. and I would prefer the type that would commonly be called a c-clip (looks like a letter C, with internal teeth) rather than the type that looks like a C with no teeth but has a pair of "horns" on the end.

Anyway, can someone point me at the posting I'm thinking of or a source that you have used?

TIA -

Thanks, Crist --- I figured that either McMaster or SmallParts, Inc. would have them.  I still feel like I saw a message about them on some board, somewhere ......  (and according to McM-C, the ones that I described are called e-clips and the ones that are commonly found on the Chinese Mfg. motors are called .. oh, they don't have any like that).
