428 Wrist Pin Retainer C-Clips

I want to replace these C-clips and need some recommendations for types of clips/retainers and sources. My pistons and pins are in excellent shape, but I want to replace or upgrade the clips for piece of mind while I have the opportunity.

Spriolocks. Google them. You can get them from Jeg's, Summit or a lot of places. Not too hard to install. Legendary for removal difficulty. There is a tool to assist in installation and removal but you can still expect some wear on your thumbs.
