Lost clip, where can i find another?

[Dasaliac03]

Like a dummy, i lost that tiny clip that holds the wastegate arm on

Dont have a clue what it is called
Went to Ford, that guy was NO HELP at all!
Napa gave me 2 similar clips but they dont work.

Can anyone find the part, have a spare, or tell me a way around it?


HELP!

You can still drive without the arm attached, but best bet, head to a scrap yard and fine a NBS 7.3 to pull one from.

but there so tiny, whos to say i wont lose that one when i oush it off too???

id rather just go somewhere and buy a new one

does one come in like a rebuild kit or something?

[Dasaliac03]

its called a retaining clip, if that helps anyone, another ford place just told me over the phone i had to buy the new wastegate kit ($500) to get one in it. heck no

[Dasaliac03]

Anyone know if this one will work for me?

Try calling a local turbo shop that rebuilds turbos if you can't find one my semi local shop is Turbo & Diesel Services @ (307)472-6760 they are ussually very helpful

the diesel guy at a local Ford shop said to me "i know this sounds dumb but take a coat hanger and twist tie the thing open"

i hung up on him

home depot and lowe's has the e-clip retainers in the hardware isle in the specialty fasteners drawers for less than a buck a piece

Napa or Carquest should have an assortment of C-clips..see if you can find one for 1/8" or 3/16".I would check the diameter of mine,but I just drove 50 miles and she is kinda warm.
