Heat shield clips

[RichardW]

The ones that are like an inside out spring washer and just push onto a stud to hold in place as used on some Xantias to hold the exhaust heat shields in place - anyone know what they are called? I need one to repair a toy tractor..... but searching on 'spring washer' or 'spring clip' doesn't readily turn up what I need.

If you mean Starlock washers like this...



...then I've absolutely no idea

I seem to recall they called them crank clips Citroen that is: These VW ones on Ebay maybe http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-AUDI-SEAT- ... 3f4b627dac

I've got some chrome covered ones in my box like the ones fitted to kids toys and pushchairs, not sure of the size but if you're interested I'll sort them out.

Checked the size, they're for 6mm axles. If they're any good for you send me a message and I'll pop a couple in the post.

I bought a bag from Citroen and have some left. If they're the size you want (and I can find them) shoot me an addy in pm and I'll pop it in the post. If you're after just the name, they're commonly called Star Washers.

That's the one Not actually measured the shaft, but it's bigger than the stud on a Xantia - thanks for the offers. Looks like i should be able to source something now I know what to search for!

It's not for the axle on one of those toy John Deere kiddies tractors, is it ? Been there, done that - I'm surprised I didn't need to replace the whole tractor once I'd finished with it

i would call them spire nuts

they dont look quite the same as the ones you mention, scroll down to the tenth on the left column

I've got a box full of those Citro, assorted shapes and sizes. the ones I mentioned previously are like chrome buttons with the spire bit inside.

I thought spire clips too, but a quick search to check turned up those pressed u-nuts for sheet metal
