I'm looking for a replacement for the "c" clip that holds the column shift rod at the top of the column as indicated in the picture.

I can't find a replacement listed in the catalogs. Is there an alternative I can use?

Thanks

I suspect you will be able to find something similar in the hardware section of a brake parts catalog. If not...get a flat washer with right OD, drill to right ID, snip out a section and work it into there!

Hardware stores, as well as parts stores, sell C Clips.

I can't really see your picture that well, and I'm not familiar with column shifters, but if it is a "C" clip (or other type of retaining ring,) you might want to try McMaster-Carr. They've got everything!
