What are these called?

The internet has been an amazing tool for folks working on old cars, but only if you can figure out what the hell a part is called.

I don't have any pictures handy, but on my 67' Dart, there are funny little "washers" that have pie cuts around the inner hole. These are used on the ends of my heater core arm linkages and the outside of the bench seat pivots, in both cases to prevent something from sliding off a smooth steel shaft.

Just in case I ever need to try and replace them and have to source replacements, what the hell are these things called?

Try looking up "internal star lock washer"
It may be it.

That's what I'd call it too. Or maybe heater cable retainer?

I think they are called, "Tube Holder Grabby Things". LOL Just kidding.

I think you mean these. They are called Internal tooth starlock washers.

They are called push washers. and they also have push nuts. I have every size you can imagine. I use them to restore toy steel Tonkas , peddle cars , wagons , and tractors, also Mopars. I buy them from toy restoration supply companies. They have Chrome , Stainless, zinc and many different finishes.

Awesome. I now remember seeing these things on the axles of my Tonka toys when I was a kid, but couldn't have told you what they were called. Thank you!
