[BaadAssGremlins] disc brakes - 78 bendix brand

["Tom" <bigrigbear@xxxxxxxxx>]

Today I took off my front tires to find the source of a clunk/scrape 
sound.  The "clip" that holds the caliper to the bracket fell on the 
ground which solved that mystery. The pads seem to be new but the car 
had been sitting for years and a botched do-it-yourself job may have 
been why. My question is that after a trip to Napa to order new 
retainers clips/support springs, I see in the exploded view diagram 
that there is a "slipper" that seems to do the same function but on the 
bottom.  This is either missing or I have a different setup on mine.  
Also, I was told that the clip and spring bow clip will need to be 
hammered in and then a small bolt holds it in place.  There seems to be 
no space for the clip with the sring on it and of course the bolt is 
snapped off that holds it there once tapped in place.  Anyone familiar 
with this setup and can tell me if this seems right?
Thanks for any advice you guys may have.
Tom
