Beautiful thanks! That was the term, found them all over. It's funny over my lifetime must have came across these things a million times and never knew what to call them.

U nuts, speed nuts, Tinnerman nuts are all just shade tree mechanic terms. They're really called metallic goesintos.

Clips & Fasteners has a bunch of sizes and carries good quality brands. They have an Amazon store if you don't want to order direct. Amazon sells a bunch of others as well, but like most stuff you want to check where they come from in order to avoid poor quality.

Auveco is a brand that has a lot of direct GM replacements that I often use.

They’re also called Jesus clips. When you try to take them off and they fly somewhere you say Jesus where’d that go?

JESUS clips are"E clips" you have to slide them out from there position and therefore you tend to loose them.

Forgive a slight thread hijack, but the nut that holds the main rotor to the mast of the UH-1 Huey is called the Jesus Nut, 'cuz if it comes off in flight, you are about to meet Him. IIRC it's torqued to ~550 - 700 ft lb using a long extender arm on the torque wrench.

So now what I know what I'm looking for it seems like I can't find a cheap ASSORTED set. Everybody sells a specific size. I was hoping to buy like a box of different sizes with the corresponding screws.
