Clips for safety wire

I keep my bike safety wired for the street and track I simply like the extra safety. I noticed several people using clips with their safety wire setups and rear axle nut, where do you get the clips? I like the ability to access the fill plug without having to rewire every time also not having to replace the cotter pin would be nice too.

Like Bob said, Home Depot sells "R-clips" in the hardware section in multiple sizes. I use them for my axle nuts and oil fill nut, but on the filter and oil drain bolt, I prefer to do it the old-fashioned way.

Thanks for the replies I'm going to go check Home Depot. I want to use them on my axle nut, oil filler, and radiator cap.

This thread went sideways...quickly... like Bo...

However you safety wire your ride.. A - Do you trust it. B - Even if you do.. ask some of the CRs and Veteran riders what they use.. never to much knowledge with safety...
