Wanted: solid lifter clip

[Verne_Frantz]

One of the little internal C clips in the top of a solid lifter got mangled in it's past life and I don't have a old lifter for a donor. I just need the clip.
I hope someone can help.


thanks

Verne, does the clip interchange with any other lifters? I.E. Mopar, Pontiac, or Ford? Is it the same as the clip used on hydraulic lifters? I have lots of old used lifters. As part of my 12-step Hoarders Anonymous rehab program I'd be happy to give you one lifter.

If Steve can’t help you, I have a couple surface rusted NOS hydraulic Chevy lifters that probably have good clips. No idea if the clips would be the same.

I have a set of used hydraulic lifters and the clips are different. I'd feel much safer with a clip from a Chevy solid lifter.

I have one NOS #523269 solid lifter if you can't find the clip.

I'll get a pic of one of mine posted when I can to compare.

Is this the one. Larry

[Verne_Frantz]

No. It's a round C clip. I'll try to get photos tomorrow.

This shows the type of clip I need.

This is a side view for comparison.

The lifter is .842 in diameter and 1.999 in length. The clip is down.234 from the top edge.

The GM lifter I have is nothing like that.

[Verne_Frantz]

Thanks for replying. I ordered a new one from Show Cars. I should get it tomorrow.

The replacement lifter I received is all I need. Thanks
