Are they single or double pot calipers? I might have some lying around but shipping will more than it may be worth. Have you tried around local to you?

Ussually vehicles are fine with out the shims, just chuck brake grease on the backing of the pad and it should be good as gold

Read the post again.......the spring clips are what he was after not the backing shims. The clips that go at the top and bottom of the pad and cushion the up and down movement....at least that is what I sent him. Seams to be sorted now

Cheers,
