Cotter pin
Is a small cylindrical solid pin, usually tapered or with a wedge face.
Sometimes fastened in position with a nut onto a threded section at the
narrow end.
Typical is the small solid pin that goes through the end of the king pin
(front steering swivel pin) where it fits to the A arm and wedges against
the flat on the bottom fulcrum pin.
The metal folded pin that goes through a castellated nut is a called split
pin, not a cotter pin in the UK
