Default tilt steering spring/ clip

I am fixing the tilt steering play on my 86 corvette. In the process a triangle shape sring clip came out from the passenger side of the wheel when I was pulling the housing off. Does anyone know where it goes.

Steering wheel nut retainer??? Fits in the groove just above the steering wheel nut???

GM Safety feature...So you don't walk off with the steering wheel in your hand...

Sorry; my nut retainer is triangular...With circular indentations where the clip splits; so you can get an icepick in there to spread it...

Must be a mechanics' add-on/modification... :rolleyes:
