I finally started tearing down and prepping my ls1 brake conversion parts for paint, and noticed one of my calipers is missing a clip..I'd imagine it has to do with placement of the pads..should I see if I can get myself another one, or is it not vital? Doesn't look like it would do much.

Re: Is this clip important?
I'm not 100% on this, but I believe that it's an anti-rattle clip. It keeps pressure on the pads to keep them from squealing.
Give me a few minutes. I may be able to find a replacement...
Found them. $1.51 each http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/rafr...1&a=FR42-26211Last edited by hockeyman; 04-10-2009, 05:37 PM.sigpic

Yes, they will squeal like the little piggy that they are :D
Rock Auto makes their deliveries very fast though! At least to my house they do. I'm talking within 2-3 day later, I had the parts in-hand. I've ordered about 5 different times with them over the past 8 months, and my parts were at my door exceptionally fast.sigpic

I emailed Rockauto service Dept to see if they can cancel the order before it ships out. being that I ordered it friday night and it's a holiday weekend, they might get the email before they ship it, who knows.
