Hi
I bought from here , select 6.4mm , 1/4" on the drop down list.
They snap into place using pliers nicely.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261568319605?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2648&var=560440528305&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Thanks Nippy - set ordered  Finally got round to fitting these and found the 1/4" / 6.4mm were a bit tight on the shaft of the Dzus fastener. They wouldn't slide freely so I've now tried the 7mm version and they seem fine. Definately easier than mucking about with the standard wire clips

Am I the only person who had no problem "mucking about" with the stock wire clips?😬

It only seems to be the cowl/bonnet fasteners which cause a problem. The boot/trunk ones seem OK, probably because the leather straps flex to help line up the dzus.

I must be missing something in this thread... Looked through all 11 pages. How are circlips helping with the fitting of the front dzus fasteners?

There are little pieces of metal that hold the fasteners in place and when you add the G56 spring kit the tension from the springs can pop the original clips off. The larger circlips replace the original retaining clips and don't slip off.

The larger circlips replace the original retaining clips and don't slip off. However I had a couple of the original wire clips come off even before I fitted the G56 spring kit. Time will tell whether the E clips will last any longer but they feel pretty secure so far.
