So I'm rebuilding the caipers, and this little anti-rattle spring for the end of the pistons is missing... is it needed? Is it available?

Also I don't suppose that damper for the parking brake spring is available too? Hell, can I make one from a V-shaped piece of aluminum? These are also missing.

The rear pad will rattle like crazy without it, because those pistons have a tendency to back off and there is nothing to hold that pad in place after the piston backs off.

Wow, thanks dude, I'll have to get some then! I just called the dealer, they want $8/spring.. maybe I can do better at Napa. Thanks again...
