An E-clip will work, but a 3mm button head (or cap head if you have the room) screw with a small dab of locktite is almost foolproof.

The E-Clip comes factory. I kind of like the E-Clip for the fact that you dont have to worry as much about the shimming since there is less play, and you also dont have to worry about stripping a bolt... I dont use loctite on my clutch bell bolts for that reason...

I do all my shopping online. Not a hobby shop within a hundred miles of where I live. So where else?

You can use a 3mm bolt if you dont have an e-clip. Either will work fine. You may need some shims with a bolt though.

You might consider this while you are shopping. It saves a LOT of trouble if you do much clutch bell or engine swapping:

I will look into that as well, Not sure which I will go with yet. Seems to me like the e-clip came off way to easy and it will probably do it again...
