The trouble is that the usual hardware store "C" clips are completely different from the ones used on potentiometer shafts, the ones they use on controls go almost 360 degrees around and are pinched closed. The only thing I can think of is maybe cutting a slot in a thin washer and prying it open, and then pinching it closed again over the shaft.
