inspection plate screws

[Bob Grunau]

Bob, I looked up the snap rings for the TA/TC brake shoes. They appear to be KD Tools, snap ring # 1000-62. I think the proper name may be "E" clip? I took a brake back plate into my friendly bearing/seal/ supplier and we fitted a ring to suit.

What size and who made them? I am assembling the shoes on TC3443 now in preparation for fitting the Alfins that I recently purchased from you. Bob McClaren Virginia Beach, VA
