Separating pins on front pads..... Options

[cardshark525]

So I did something pretty careless when I did all 4 brakes about 6 months ago... I lost the little pins that go in the front to separate the pads from the rotors. I know... you don't need to tell me I'm a moron lol. I haven't seen any problems in either braking or excessive brake wear but when I turn the car I can hear the pads up against the rotor for a few seconds and after coming to a stop they scrape for a few seconds. (It just briefly sounds like a faulty Catalytic converter). So........ can I find replacements for this at a local shop or online or should I look to get them from another member who's parting out? Could I make them? lol Whats my best option?

yes most part stores carry them. I use to replace them every time I did my brakes. They also come in caliber repair kits.


edit
I forgot to tell you, They won't be car specific. They will be universal fit so you might have to bend them a bit or cut the ends off some. you can also make your own if you head over to a hardware store.. if you need any help just drop me a message.
