Rear Brake clip missing

Just changing brakes

The rear clip is missing from the brake pad.
Hard to explain but i guess it squeezes the brakes together to keep them even.

There was 2 in the front but missing one in the back. Its just a thin peice of metal....

Anyone know what i can use that I might be able find around the house/shop?


"wire clip that is seated inside the boot" I beleive this is what i am missing found this terminology in another post.
Is there supposed to be 2 or one for the rear brake callipers?

You're right the front requires 2, but I'm pretty sure there is only one of those clips per each set of rear pads.
