An e-clip which holds the handle clamp on my Yakima Backswing together failed for the second time and Yakima are ignoring my support requests.

This one seems like it might be too tight a fit?

Or if I use non-freedum units this one?

Problem is not knowing if I need the imperial 3/8's - of which there's 50 in that kit, or a metric 8mm which isn't in that kit.

Based on my measuring I think it needs to be the metric...

Metric.

Napa has metric kits as well

I think I'll give the 9mm shaft diameter bag of 100 from Fastenal a try, there's one right near @Nick

A bag of ten is all I need to keep me happy, but Grainger in Denver is a further drive for just the ten.

That sounds like a dare!

If it already failed twice I would just replace the pin and clip with a nut and bolt. If there is sufficient clearance.

Or just jam a stick in there.

Shitty design, tight clearance for a nut and bolt and I'd need nylon washers or something appropriate against the handle with a nylock nut as it's a moving pivot point.

I've been using a bent paperclip for the last 5+ months, should probably just put a spare paperclip in the truck instead.

Nah, that's just the trail that flows from my house in that direction, 3 1/2 miles to drop the 1800ft down to the paved bike path. That will likely be how I'll pickup the parts if I choose that fix.

I expect nothing less but 2 KOM's, move out, draw fire!
