Really don't know what to call this but I need one. I included a photo of where it goes.  Mine gave up and broke in two. Anybody know if this can be picked up anywhere? Thanks

I think a snap ring would slide off.  It would need a groove to sit in so it doesnt move.

I think you need one of these.

Usually a good hardware store that has lots of small drawers in the hardware section should carry them.  Better hardware stores have small parts drawers with weird washers, clips, stainless stuff, hooks, etc.  Thats where you would find them.  

If you cant find them then measure the size of the shaft on the seat and PM me the size.  I'll hit my local store and grab one and mail it to you.

Thanks for the offer Brother. I will head down to my local hardware store this week and see what I can find. As far as the snap ring, it does have a groove on the piece on the seat. I might just pick up both a snap ring and a push nut and see which works the best.
