Where to source these retainer clips?
 

I can find smaller ones listed, but I need 7/16". They hold several bumper bolts in place on a '49 cadillac I'm building. Rectangular push nut.

McMaster-Carr should have them, they carry everything. McMaster-Carr

<strike>yep. McMaster-Carr - Speed Nuts</strike>

Nope. Not in that size.

Try https://www.wclco.com/spring-washers/push-on-nuts/rectangular-push-on-nuts/

will this work?

John, I need something similar, known as a Tinnerman clip. Small, U-shaped spring clip with a threaded hole in the middle, for a 3-48 screw. Been looking for years.

Mouser might have something like what you need.

Thanks Derek, got 30 coming. Those things are hard to find!

That is a pretty random question to get the answer in two hours, wow.

I've had good luck with these guys for BMW clips and fasteners:

Nothing stumps Pelican OT.

WCL lists them but doesn't stock.

I haven't looked but Threads for the South has everything I've always needed.

John, how about some pics of your caddy when you have the chance ??
