Question lost throttle body shaft lock washer

anyone have a part number or is there something else people use on the tps side of the shaft, the little metal ring that you see when you remove the tps. Do people run the TB without it since the throttle plate will keep the shaft in place?

anyone know? its the press fit ring that holds the shaft on, that you have to remove to slide out the shaft after you take off the throttle plate

Same thing happened to me a couple yrs ago. Tried different size press collars from home depot. Didn't fit. No problem running without it.
