Default Door Handle -> updated linkage & roll pin -> circlip required?

On '86 944 Turbo I am replacing the door handle linkage with new parts. I have the new linkage (L&R sides) and the new roll pin (94453763700 -> photo below).

->Does this require a circlip to keep it from coming out? I see no reference to this on PET or the forums, but the end of the piece has a groove where a circlip would fit. Unlike the original roll pin that was a friction fit (and required a punch to remove) the new "roll pin" is more like a shaft that is loose and will easily fall out.

UPDATE: After multiple searches found the picture below that appears to have a circlip...anyone have a part number?

It's been a while since I messed with a door handle, but I think the answer is yes, there is a circlip that should go with that.

I believe so and I'm missing it as well. I keep not being able to open my drivers door from the outside because the roll pin keeps falling out every couple weeks. I was wondering what I needed to keep that from happening. As you can imagine it's very annoying.

I couldn't find that E-clip in PET. I bet you could just take the pin to the hardware store and find a clip that's pretty close in size, then open or close it a bit with some pliers to make it fit perfectly.

Or better yet, find a hardware store that sells metric stuff. They are around.
