Muffler Packing, Headlight clip, carb cover spring

Well I've got a hodgepodge of requests. Does anyone have any of the following?

Muffler packing? (looks like I've got the same setup as nc_rider with 1 muffler having a metal collar/crimp while the other does not...weird)

The clip that holds the pin in the headlight housing

Spring that keeps the knob tight on the carb covers (I've lost it somehow).

Let me know if you have any of these

What does the muffler packing look like? I ask because I have two different types of muffler packing. One is the black sleeve for the dream muffler and another is like a large orange o-ring.

You have the two different types of packing. The large one goes with the muffler which has a plain end. The other (orange) one goes with the type which has a formed end on it.

Paperslammer, regarding the last two items, check out a decent chandlery or hardware store for stainless circlips (yours is an 'external' type) and spring(s). Stainless is far preferable to use as you're coastal (sea atmosphere) and chandlers should be abundant. They should have plastic or nylon washers too; such will protect the carb cover from being scratched by the spring. Shop around, if you have plenty of chandlers within an area, as they can vary in price dramatically for the same items (here, at least, anyways!).

I think the spring fits inside. ......lm

I didn't word it quite as well as I should've, sorry. 'External type circlip' is what I was referring to.
