Retaining Snap Rings For Slotted Nut
Is this a standard Snap Ring or something special for the application?
links to available requested.

It looks similar to a standard type E radial retaining ring:

But I think it is a custom design. Easy enough to be made, try Rotor Clip, Seeger-Orbis, Smalley, RingMasters, etc.

It doesn't look standard, though.

If you need a bunch of the exact same ring,
make a spec drawing and fax it to everybody.
Whoever quotes it cheap with no tooling charge, already has the tools.

Maybe I should have posted in "Hobby" as a friend only needs a couple. It is used in a parking brake actuator for 70's car. I was hoping it was a DIN/SAE standard I had never encountered

CoryPad, notice the ID is the circle but the "key" extends to prevent rotation of the inner castle nut.

Yes, I am familiar with the style, we used it at GM over 15 years ago.

Is there a “description” different than what I am calling it that could help locate them?

post make, model, year, please

while finding a part to use is part of the search, my inquiry was more for defining that type of part.

in this case, the clip was used in Girling rear calipers w/park brake, from early 70's deTomaso.
Here is a link where a new one can be purchased

But, I am still interested in determining if a generic part.

This is likely a special/OEM.

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.
