what are my carburettor clips called?

[docjohn]

The Ball & Ball carb on my 1969 Barracuda has rods connected to the links by little tiny springy wire clips. They're shaped like figure eight with a gap so you can push them onto the groove in the rod with pliers. So they're not exactly circlips which are E-shaped. What are these wire clips called?

I ask because I've discovered a clip like this has recently fallen off and been lost in the engine bay! I could get a pack of new ones on the internet if I knew what they were called.

Or....would a circlip be a better option? Are they made that small (rod diameter = 48thou, groove diameter obviously less than this)?
