Default Brake pad retainer clip for one-piece pads?

I tried running without the clips, but the pads would go clap-clap-clap at low speeds. Not much of an issue for track, but I don't want to break them and they do push back the pistons.

The stock clips probably need to be modified to fit with the larger one-piece pads. Anyone have the part number?
Anyone use something else?

I have one piece Carbotech pads on the way that work with the factory clips, yours may as well.

Didn't look like they would fit, but maybe I should try again.
- This was with Cobalt XR1.

That is what I thought too, but then I need new clips for my street padletts.

Anyone got the Part number?

Sold individually so you need 4 of each, dealer price. Didn't find them anywhere else.
- Now I will bend my old springs to work with the one piece pads.
