Brake pad clips

[Biosafena]

I bought new brake pads from Baja Ron for my 2012 RT and when I went to install them I discovered that one of the spring clips that goes on the back of the pads is broken. I looked inline and it appears that you can't buy just the spring clip. It looks like you have to buy the set of pads to get the clips. Anyone have any ideas???

I just had to do this very same thing. I bought a set of OEM pads on e-Bay which came with new clips. Knowing what I went through and the stress involved with this I'm willing to mail you a couple because I have few extras. If you text me a pic of your clips I can can confirm they are the same as my 2009 GS brake pad clips. Shoot me a PM and I'll respond with my cell number.

Baja Ron? I'd think he would send you a replacement if you received it broken.

Ron doesn't supply the clips with the pads he sells, so not his fault. You need to reuse the factory clips with Ron's pads. When you buy the OEM pads apparently you get new clips.

this site is grand...but we really need to find a supplier for those clips. Yours was broken but many have had them disappear into the depths of thier garages never to be found. :banghead:

I just did mine a couple weeks ago and one flew into a rag box, it was good to find it but nerve racking until that moment.
