[Tigers] FW: Steering Column Circlip

[David T Johnson]

That's correct.  It keeps the adjustable shaft from slipping into the
column when you have removed the steering wheel.  Otherwise
its a pain to get the shaft back out of the column. 
 
Its a tight friction fit over the shaft.
 
I believe later Alpines with adjustable columns have the same circlip.

I feel your pain; when I lost mine in a gravel driveway and spent quite a
few hours looking for it -- that's when I decided I needed a paved driveway
(well, a garage while I was at it). Quite a few years now, I recall
fabricating a replacement; it's not like it's a, well, a conrod or
something. It just keeps the central shaft from slipping down inside, right?
