>Picked up one 118 block plane for a couple bucks. The retainer ring that holds the adjustment shaft to the body- -if that is what is supposed to be there- - is missing. Does it take a standard clip? If anyone knows the size, I would appreciate knowing. Kinda hard to use the plane with the shaft "free floating" on the body! Phil

>Phillip,

I just looked at mine. It's just an "E" clip.Bring the adjuster to the auto parts store or a hardware store that is well equipped.You should be able to find one that fits.---Jack
