Re: caliper question
They're probably the clips for the back of the pads to keep them in the piston. I just converted my `70 and that is what was in my caliper box.

Re: caliper question
If its a small clip almost square about 1.5" in size it's for your brake line to hose mounting. If it's 3" long and looks like a big stretched out paper clip it's to hold your pads in the calipers.
Who did you get the kit from?

Re: caliper question
id say its the 3 in. one got it from classic heart beat, so does would it go on the inside pad or the outside pad?

Re: caliper question
Inside pad. It goes into the cup of the caliper piston and clips to the inner pad.
