I just went to put new rear brake pads on my 2000 S3T and a clip fell out when I pulled off the caliper and pads. Where the heck does this clip GO!!! Please help.

The anti-rattle clip goes between the mount and pads on the front side of the caliper.

I think I got it. It seems to fit in the well in the caliper and is between the caliper and the pads. It took some looking at as it will kinda fit two different ways. It appears as if the longer smooth section of the clip goes towards the piston side to allow the pad to glide along it as it moves and wears down. The other side helps secure the stationary pad. Thanks for the fast reply. I was wonderin' if those guys with the fancy new fangled bikes remembered us tubers.
