6th Gen brake upgrade... Front Brake Pad Retainers... 6th gen vs 5th gen

Anyone know if the one from a 2000 maxima could be reused on a 2004 caliper?? Or do I have to shell out 20 bucks for 2 little clips??

Or do you guys know of anywhere I could purchases these clips?

Not sure if this is the appropiate forum, but since there are probably alot of guys who upgraded to 6th gen brakes who probably know the answer.

Here's a pic for those who are not sure what i'm talking about. Parts labelled 17 and 18.



Thanks in advance.

It's been a while since I did the upgrade, but I believe I just used the retainers from my 5.5 gen brakes. I have a 2003, so I am not sure how much that differs from your 2000 (if any).

Don't quote me on any of this, I can't remember what we did when we did the swap.
