Have tried all the local auto shops, home depot, lowes and dine online trawls with no success

McMaster -Carr has everything.
Maybe a brake supply place has what you need.
Also OSH has a lot of stuff like this
Good luck

thanks all, much appreciated. I think McMaster Carr will have the closest thing
Dan, this is the ring snap that holds one of the rubber seal covers on the brake cylinder. See photo below (number 27)

I am pretty sure the Nissan and aftermarket rebuild kits have the ring. I may have some used ones in the stash. Free if you want them.

Ah, that's right....it holds the rubber end seal on the body.
I remember now.
I think Joe's right, they came with rebuild kits. I think I may have a core in one of my brake part boxes.
I'll dig around this weekend.

Thanks, I purchased a brake rebuild kit but they didn't come with the clips. If anyone has some, I would be happy to fix you up for them.
