Default Waste gate clip question

Assembling a new to me Garrett 2560R. The waste gate was loose, and I am trying to find the correct size clip to attach the arm. As close as I can measure, it seems to be 4mm, or 5/32 in. width where the clip goes, but nothing I'm trying from the hardware is working. (either too small, or next size too big). First, should I use a "C" clip, or "E" clip? If anyone knows the standard size, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Thanks HeavyD, I'm starting to think someone mixed in the wrong size in the box's at my local hardware. I'll search out another source for 5/32's. Tom

I sent you some that I had from a Harbor Freight kit - they didn't fit? HF sells a selection of them in the same box that you can pick from.

Edit: Should have been in a small ziplock bag in one of the 5 boxes you got from me.

Hmm, okay. The container from HF definitely has the right size you need cause that's where I sourced the one that was on there. Sorry about that!
