Clips for brake pads

The little metal clips that hold the brake pads tight to the caliber are worn out on mine..I have the rattle.. I have checked Napa , Advance and Autozone... Is there a redneck fix for this?

its prolly a lot more expensive, not to mention time consuming, to try to find something to make work.

Duct tape and bailing wire! Quality products that work the first time are overrated anyways.

I found out I was missing one on my last job when I got halfway in to it and used cotter pins from the toolbox to hold the pins in. I haven't noticed any rattle either.

I bet the clips are cheap even by stealer terms. Maybe under $50 or so for them...
