novafishy Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I have seemed to have misplaced the pins that hold the clips to my eheim 2217 canister filter. its a bit hard to explain, but here's a photo of it. I'm missing about 5-6 pins on 2 eheim canisters. Where can i buy these pins separately? and if i can't, what else can i use? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novafishy Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 So i'm looking for "Split pins" right? i'm sure if i find a generic brand, it will be MUCH cheaper than Eheim pins. Anyone else have suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ged Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 The genuine Eheim part is Eheim Classic Spring Clip (4 Pieces) Part Number: 7470650 For Models 2211, 2213, 2215, 2217 which comes with the clip and pin. They normally retail for about $7.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novafishy Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 Thanks for all the replies guys... i will first try the hobby shop to see whether they have thin rods, then i can cut to size. If not, i will contact Eheim as the last resort. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeyBoyR Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 If in doubt come to Auburn, we have a huge range of Eheim parts and have no trouble ordering them in the unlikely event we dont have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novafishy Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 Blake, Does it come in a set of 5 or so? or are they sold as individual 'clip n pin' for $7.00? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
