brake hardware

Hello everyone. I was hoping to get some info. I decided to replace my front brakes, took everything apart and now I can't remember where the different brake hardware clips go. Each side has two small clips and two larger clips. I think the larger ones go on the bottom inner and outer but not sure. Any help or pictures would be appreciated.

The tang faces down and the tabs face out/up.

Not sure what you mean by tang or tab. I can get them on the caliper bracket. I just don't remember where the large ones go. Both lower or both outer.

A good rule of thumb from back in the drum brake days, is to never tear down both sides at the same time. With camera phones, you can take pictures before tearing it all apart to later reference.

Thanks. I thought about taking a picture after it was too late. Didn't think it would take three months to get calipers.
