If the spring clips of the brake pad adjuster are broken, it is not necessary to buy new backing plate, you can replace them.
With the exception of the Bus front backing plates, the clamps are more or less riveted to the adjustment block, so it is necessary to reassemble them in the same way, no special tools are required, you can do the work with a hammer and screwdriver.
The front backing plates of the Bus are fixed with rivets, it is preferable to rivet them in the same way. The use of blind rivets can, but does not provide a solid connection as you would with real rivets.
