I have recently purchased a 1987 SJ413 VJX and am in the process of restoring it. I have bought a service kit from Bigredd and put the callipers back together, apart from 2 clips which fit somewhere above the brake pads. Foolishly, I didn't take any photos before stripping them apart! I cannot figure out how to instal these 2 clips, which orientation etc. Can anyone help with photos of a complete calliper assembly, or help me to get these 2 final clips installed? I have attached a few photos to show the clips I mean. The 4 other clips at the sides of the brake pads went together without any issues. Thank you for any advice or photos.

Thank you for your reply Scottie, I can now see the orientation of the clips but still can't see exactly where they locate and clip in tightly etc? Do you have a photo of an assembled calliper please?

Tbh I have a feeling I never run those ones 😅 I will have a look next time I’m up the workshop. I can’t actually remember if I’ve got anything running Aisin calipers at the moment but I could look at my dads Jimny as they use the Aisin callipers.
