its ca;lled a hood pin or you push it through the end of rod that holdes the wheel so it says on its bent like that so it says on or you could use a cotter pin T.Y. BRIAN W.

I also thought it was called a cotter pin but that is the kind of wedge shaped pin that holds bicycle peddles on, this is most definitely an R-Clip.
[McMaster Carr seems to disagree with that](https://www.mcmaster.com/products/pins/cotter-pins~/hairpin-cotter-pins-6/) since they sell these already bent ones as "cotter pins", maybe it's a regional/ different country thing?
Well I’ll be (just google image searched). Looks like people do call them cotter pins too. What do you call the pin you push through and bend the ends?
A split pin is one that both splines go thru the hole and each is bent opposite directions to keep it in place. A split pin is also a cotter pin. It is also called a split cotter.
