Default LS400 Caliper assembly

I took apart my calipers well over a year ago but can't seem to figure out how to assemble the entire thing back together.
I can't figure out where the last spring/clip goes.

That is the clip that hold the pins from sliding out. Its the side that hold the brake pad sensor wire.

the beck/arnley rebuild kit for the 2LS calipers is (was?) $8.00 from RockAuto. I have a kit. It's rebranded Japanese stuff, possibly the OEM seal manufacturer.

You still need it to hold the sliding pins. It just happens to have a clip to hold the sensor wire.

The other side will have a different looking pin, but is still necessary.

The assembly is the same as the one in the 2nd picture. Just rotate the pin until you see the hole.
