I am overhauling my brakes at the moment and after checking my rear brake calipers yesterday noticed the pad retaining pins and anti rattle clips looked decidedly dodgy,so I thought no problem I'll just order some new ones.Wrong!!!Lotus don't stock the pins and clips separatley you have to buy a whole new set of rear pads at £98 quid.The calipers are made as I'm sure you're aware by Brembo and you'd think a big company as they are would offer spares but sadly not.The front brake spares by AP Racing are fine you can get new pins,clips and all the bits needed.On something like brakes where safety is paramount I think it is mad that you can't get these vital spares.Right rant over,back to the brakes.

Thanks Trevor but I'm afraid not I need replacement pad retaining pins and the sprung clips that stop the pads rattling.
