Im looking for a circlip/retaining ring supplier in the UK who can do this size.

OD 72 x ID 64 x 0.75 Matl Thickness

Now this looks like a normal everyday mech seal circlip to me.
Most I have seen over the years are circa 1mm thick.

All the suppliers I have tried so far are telling me standard thickness is 2.5mm !

(I need 60 off so its not a case of making one off from bar)

TIA

I work for a seal manufacturer in the UK and we commonly use circlips of this thickness. From memory I think we machine them from stock materials rather than buying them.
