Z900/Z1000/Z1 master Cylinder circlip pliers

[DogsbolloxofZ1B]

Can any one shed light on a suitable set of circlip pliers?

I've got straight ones & bent ones but none long enough to reach the internal circlip required to release the master cylinder piston. If you've got a supplier & part number great if not an image would be useful. I've tried to use a pair of scribers but that's hopeless, now running out of options.

Makro do a range of tools called Meister or something like that, they have blue/black handles and in that range is a very small set of 'long' nosed pliers which although short the jaws are narrow and rounded so they do fit in the bore, the points are small and will just about go in the holes of the circlip although you could reduce them a bit to make them fit the holes a little better. I found them to work well and only cost about four quid.

Pauljac47, I know exactly what you mean and I'm sure I have a set somewhere. There were a cross between dividers & compass used for scribing circles onto sheet metal.. Ohh those were the days...
