Default Pad Retainer Clip - where from?

Hi All,

One of my pad retainer clips in my front calipers was bent and has recently fallen off when riding!

Has anyone got any idea where i can get one from?

I checked wemoto and went down to lloyd cooper at Watford who didnt have one either and ive also googled

ive read about people bending paper clips...personally i dont have the imagination to see how that would work!

If someone could point me in the right direction id be grateful, cheers!

If i remember rightly it's just a R clip?

Like this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-clip

In which case any model ship that sells RC cars will do them. The are used to hold the bodies onto the cassis. Probably cost you a few pence.

If you struggle give me a PM, might have one lying around somewhere, dn't go spending £s for one!

Just whatever you do buy make sure its strong enough, a saving of a few quid can end up costing far more when your pads fall out!! - have seen the after effects of this and it wasnt nice.
