Like a thin washer with serrated inner diameter that you push over a

on one face (the side that goes on first) so that the serrated bits
bite into the shaft material.


Circlip? Or is that something else?


Not circlips, they are not whole circles. Sorry.


Circlips need a groove in the bar to ping into... or a groove around the
inside of a hole to ping out against,
both types much prefer ping****iting across the garage of course,
