[6pack] Mystery part

[ed]

Bill:

I do not think so.  This appears to be formed to hold something under 
tension.  I would guess it is a retaining clip.  The shape of the opening 
hints that it is used to hold something round in place.  That something is 
inserted through a hole, and the clip possibly fits into a pair of grooves 
to hold it against the sheet metal around the hole..  I might make a wild 
guess at it being a lock retainer clip.
