Bearing suppliers normally also sell circlips. The ones for 105 series slave
cylinders are generic items, I doubt if the 116 ones would be any harder to
find (are they the same??). For the cents that they cost it's worth
replacing them when you fit a new cylinder: It's embarrassing if they
break.... AMHIK.
