Fuel pump retaining ring

[Rollybear1]

Hello all, 98 GMC K1500 5.7L. Im changing the fuel pump and wondering if anyone has an idea what the ring that locks the pump in place is called? and if I can get one. I've got the tank down and the ring is very corroded. Chunks are coming off of it. I cleaned it up best I could but now with the new pump in with the ring, the pump shifts. It shifts a small amount but I dont think this is correct and the only thing I can see wrong is the metal retaining ring is so corroded that its not holding it tight. I've searched everywhere and nothing comes up for that ring. Its about 5 in in diameter and has a hole at each end. It looks just like a flat snap ring.
Any help is appreciated.

yep, the fuel tank lock ring. I was mis-searching by looking for a fuel pump piece. Luckily the local auto zone had one (a nice one too) and it held great. Just started it up and it purrs like a kitten! Finally!
dropping the tank is no joke
