Afternoon all,

I have a front brake pad fitting kit (pictured) for my MX-5 but I'm a bit stuck.

The two large clips I don't need as there are existing ones already in place.
It's where the smaller single clip and spring go that I don't know.
Any ideas?

Many thanks
Jono

Replace the big silver clips with the new ones and make sure you clean the callipers with a wire brush as the pads tend to seize with an accumulation of brake dust. Just replace what you take off, the spring and single clip could be for a different car setup if not on yours.

Thanks for that. Turns out the clips are for another set-up.
