Rockers with trunion upgrade question..video inside

I had bought a set of rockers of a member and just got to install one side and noticed that one of the rocker C clip spins freely whereas the rest they are pretty stiff and tight.

Womdering if its something I should be concerned about or it’s normal?

Excuse the the loud grinding noise.

as long as it's in the groove and it isn't broken you should be fine... it's possible they opened it up too much when installing it, you could take it off and carefully close the clip a bit so it fits tighter if you can't get the thought of it being loose out of the back of your mind

Although the video isn't quite that clear, to me, it looks like the spring clip is a little "stretched out". It's not a big deal to replace the clip, so that's what I'd do.

i guess I’ll do that to have peace of mind. Any heads up on where to get the clip?

Thanks

I doubt that a Lowes or H-D would have anything like that, but you never know. Is there a Graingers, Fastenal, or other similar hardware distributor near you?
