Default C6 Side Mirror Hardware Question

Does anyone know exactly what type of retainer this is that holds the mirror and the mirror base together? I've done some searching, but it's tough when you don't know what the damn thing is called

retainer clip
shaft retainer

probably best search would be using... starlock
the outside mirrors dont list that piece as a seperate part , so they (GM) never intend on selling it or attached pieces seperate. so... i cant look up the inside/outside mm as they dont list it, or i would have posted it here
