Exclamation HELP - Lost brake pad anti-rattle clip!

Alright so I just replaced the pads and turned the rotors on my "new to me" '93 GS300 and one of the brake caliper pad clips on the rear passenger side was mangled and the other missing
This explains the strange wear on those pads
Anyone know where I can get another couple of clips?

Junk yard if you're lucky... Shouldn't be too hurtful at the dealer. I forgot to install mine last time, been a year already. Just sitting in my tool box

Default Problem solved

Got the parts on ebay for less than $10.
Found it listed as a disc brake hardware kit.
RockAuto also sells it for about $16 plus shipping.

Ya, you need them, can cause the pads to wear funky and make this really annoying clunking sound in the process.
