Pad Change (metal clip thing)

[Bobie8]

Whats the little metal clip thing called that slides under the end of the pads at the bottom of the carrier? One of mine is pretty bashed up and in place of the grey wire that stops it falling out was what appears to be a rusty bent paper clip......which I lost.
Anyway whats it called and where would I get another one? cliospares.co.uk ?

Cheers

The "bent paper clip "is the correct item to retain the slider. You might as well buy them from the main dealer, can't be much.

just use another bit of paperclip mate, its only to stop it sliding out, wouldnt bother buying a propper one

Paper clips rust away too quick.

Cool, think I'll try get a new "slider" anyway as its pretty bashed up and im pretty sure its restricting the pads movment. It was a pain in the ass trying to get it back in.

Just use a general split pin.

cut to size worked fine for mine!

There called 'shims'. Can't be much from a dealer.
