Yamaha control box, circlips?

[Poly]

I've just replaced my throttle and gear cables. The new ones seem to be springier than there predecessors. The plastic end bits don't seem to stay on the stud/rod inside the box end as well as the old ones did. It might just be that I haven't got the tension right, but I notice there is a groove on them which looks like it's meant for a circlip, should there be one? I've never had one...

My 703 box has got clips. I only know because when I rigged it I spent about half an hour looking for one that pinged off!

All yamaha boxes have two circlips to hold the cable ends on.

The don't provide a spare with the 703 but with the 704 they always sellotape a spare circlip inside the box.
