The clips are off Hayter Hayterettes from the mid sixties. Normally I would not worry so much and just use circlips instead, but in this case the ‘hub caps’ are secured by fitting over the clips.
Hayter stopped using this type of fixing and moved to nuts, when they moved to the single lever height adjustment in the early seventies.
I had considered using Starlock fixings, the ones that have a plastic cap moulded around them, thus negating the need for the clip and the hub cap. But am once again struggling to source items of the right size in black from the UK. That is unless I want 4000 of them, in reality I would like 20 or so.
Any help or thoughts appreciated!
Thanks,
Scott
