Someone postedthe components needed for installing piston pin clips, i think it consisted of a copper pipe coupler used
with a socket to push the clip into the piston. Anyone know where i might find this info.... tried the search but no luck..

 

actually they make a tool just for this.Ive never had the extra money but few beers for the guy at local bike shop gets me use of most tools.Plus I always bring them back right away and they are spotless when returned.
Ive used two screw drivers or scratch awls before too.Either was make sure to cover all holes in engine cases and clean the floor around you so when they pop out you can find them.

 

I was the one that posted the copper pipe and the socket a couple of days ago, I originally got the idea from someone on HTT and did a search there also because he had some pictures but I too could not find it. What do you need to know? it is just a short piece of copper pipe the size of the pin circlip, length doesnt matter, but shorter would be easier to maneuver and the socket just has to fit inside the pipe but large enough to push the clip out into the groove of the piston, maybe, someone that also seen int on HTT will post pictures if they can find it.

Pics are posted on HTT here. Found it using the following google search "circlip copper site:groups.msn.com/harleytechtalk/tc88fathead.msnw"

 

TBF, you the man, that is where I first seen it I figured someone here would find it, Todd
