Rear Brake Pads - Spring Clips That Fit Holes in Pads ?

Post by Bluespanner » Tue Jul 01, 2014 7:56 am

Having inspected the rear brake pads on one wheel so far, I noticed that there's just one spring type clip that slots into the 2 holes at the top end of each pad. The holes at the bottom of the pad are empty with no clip. Is this correct ? If not is there any consequences to the bottom holes being without a spring and if so where can I get replacement a spring from ?
Thanks in advance.

one per side sounds right to me

pads sort of pivot when the cylinder pushes

and would not be able to if more than one
