The part in question is stout, the thickness should be about equal to the notch cut in the shaft. These parts could be doubled up, ie two of them if they would fit the notch, not idea but if you can only get thin ones local then order the real thing at a later time???

Anyway here is a picture of one of mine. Lost the washer on the other end when I pulled it apart so have to go back and see if I can find it..... third thing today after a screw and a small screw driver, neither of which has turned up yet. Hope to have better luck with the washer #169 in the drawing.

Had a guy say that the e clip is too thin Andy I have to agree. Saw a picture of the original earlier and it’s about 50% thicker than the one I had installed

So I tried to put two e clips in the slot and managed to get both in there. Put in the carriage and tightened and both bent and fell off. Might just have to wait for Shopsmith. Didn’t want to but looks like I have no choice now.

Hanks man, I appreciate it I really do. The only close up picture I’ve seen after hours of scouring the internet.

I am just as curious about the mating surface of part #163.

If you can't find one locally, your best option is to order a new one directly from Shopsmith so you have the right one.
They list part #164 as 504259

You might check an auto parts store for the clip, too.

If you have an old fashioned Hardware store that still exists in your community, a Fastenal or Grainger facility, you may can find one also.

Bear in mind that Shopsmith would not manufacture something of this nature but through the years took components readily in place in the market. This clip may be used in dozens of components originally available in the area around Dayton etc. and likely nationwide.

That said, knowing the exact size would be helpful as we could order them as Shopsmith used to publish in their parts lists a common item, locally available.

All the sites I checked had them, but you had to specify shaft diameter, groove diameter, material etc. I only listed Grainger as it was easiest for me to capture.

I wonder if someone has undertaken the documentation of E-Clips and Roll-Pins like the one Mickyd did for setscrews. The setscrew document is available in My Google Drive in the Parts & Accessories sub-folder. If someone knows if one exists, I will gladly post it there.

Eclips won't work in that application. They don't do well in thrust loads. Either use a proper retaining ring.
