For regular (popular) sizes, You can usually find little circlip kits of various sizes at your hardware store or even auto shops and the like.

It's easier than waiting for something ordered online from a pinny-part dealer when you just wanna complete the task today/tomorrow kinda thing.

my 2cents ;-)

Yeah I agree.  Repco and the like will have little blister packs of mixed e clips and I have a feeling Bunnings do as well.  Much quicker and easier option.

MartyM & pintoxicated are right, and im sure if you go to supercheap auto or someewhere similar you can buy a box of assorted sizes. for about $20. Youd have more than enough of various sizes.
