Description
Overview:
The Gudgeon Pin Clip for Villiers C12 engines (MPN 30960) is a genuine Villiers part designed to secure the gudgeon pin inside the piston, preventing lateral movement that can cause wear or engine damage. Made from durable metal with spring properties, the clip sits in the piston's pin groove to hold the pin firmly in place during operation. This small but essential component supports smooth running and helps extend engine life, especially on vintage Villiers units such as the C12. Supplied as unused vintage stock, it may show minor tarnishing from age, which does not affect performance. Ideal for restorers, workshops, and owners maintaining classic machinery powered by the Villiers C12, it offers an authentic, correct-fit solution you can trust.
