I do not know the name to search for a supplier of the washer.

The washer fits in a slot to retain a hexagonal bar in a hexagonal hole.

I tried to search for a C-shaped locking washer unsuccessfully.

Any polite suggestions would be most welcome.

Circlip, E Clip or U Clip?

That takes all the fun out of it :-)

Umm, are you thinking of (spring) circlips?

It's a circlip.

If you're going to be doing more than one or two, a cheap pair of
circlip pliers might be a good investment.

=========================================

They're actually called 'C washers', thus:

They come in different thicknesses and materials. Spring type were
used in pairs to retain hydraulic brake cylinders.

Many thanks for all the replies, especially Dave for showing such restraint.

Or a C washer they aren't the same thing...

A circlip can be internal or external and has a couple of holes to take
the prongs of a pair of circlip pliers.

Agreed, much much easier to take the things off or put them on with a
pair.
