CARF Pins/Clips ?
These are actually off of my Carf P47, but was hoping maybe they are used on one of the Carf jets as well-looking for a source for some spares of these.
Hate to bother one of the Carf reps for such a small item. Thanks in advance-

Just my experience but be really careful when using this pin and clevis combo (sounds like you are only using the pin though).
I have these on my ultra flash but not after a steep learning curve. They must be lubricated!!
I know it sounds obvious, especially in hindsight. Without lube they will bind up extremely quickly but without warning.
Luckily mine did it on the ground and I only lost a servo. Would have been a different if I was in the air.

Yes, CARF uses the pins/clips as retainers for the aileron and flap hinges on the P-47, provided as stock on the kits. I'm not a fan either, as I have had the clips come loose, no doubt from the vibration of the big Moki, and also the same vibration caused the aluminum pins to wear, making the connection sloppy over time.
Not a major issue mind you, but a maintainance issue for sure.

I started assembly on the Rebel pro and I’m not using them. I’m afraid when cleaning after a day’s flying the towel or whatever I’m using snags and removes a C clip without me knowing.

If you wanted to get them in the states would these work?

They even look a bit beefier
