spring clamp identification help request
67gta289:
Need help identifying the spring clips in the attached picture. Not ringing a bell for me at the moment. Thanks.
Also a second pic with a different clamp - same request.
J_Speegle:
First picture is for single piston calipers
Second pictures - I've got no idea

2nd picture looks like a caliper/brake pad spring also, but seems more likely a GM product. It would clip around the inner brake pad & hold the pad into a single piston caliper.

Thanks. I picked up a bunch of parts last year - 95% 67 stuff, but these snuck in there.

2nd picture reference info: Yep, I thought those looked familiar...I remembered. I changed out 2-3 sets a day back in the 80's. working at a GM dealeship. Those inner pad clips were used in pretty much ALL big GM RWD cars in the 70's thru early/mid 90's as well as 1/2 ton pickups. I looked up an 81 Caprice caliper hardware kit and found it there.
