Installed ATS housing, Have one question????

How the he!! do you get the c clip back on the waste gate,
I bought 3 extra and lost them all.
I have a machine shop and think I am going to
make a round coller with a set screw in the side.
Unless you guyes know another trick ??????
The job was pretty easy, I spent the most time
trying to get the c ring back on. Never did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is just sitting on there now, Not sure what would happen
if it came off, Drove home it was fine.
Also installed the ford AIS system.
I like the cleaner look and the Woooooosh
sound is gone, You can actually hear the truck now.
Thanks for all your help, There is great info on this site!!!!!!
Back to the question, Is there a trick or do you have to buy
alot of c rings and you just get lucky!!!!!!

tie a piece of small string or dental floss to the C Clip so when it goes flying you can just pull it back up, also using a small mirror helps to get the clip into place then use something like a flathead screwdriver to snap it in place
