I found that a nice replacement for that horrible-to-get-in-and-out spring ring is a DIN472 52x2,0 Seeger ring; only, it is too thick and you have to reduce it to 1,65mm (.065").
I took a piece of hardwood, put two nails through the eyes, cut off the heads flush with the ring, and used a belt sander. Check regularly for thickness!

PS: where can you get these stock circlips that don't need thinning
