Sounds as though either:
1) NO ones actually changed this part before (unlikely)
or
2) Those who have are too embarrassed to talk about it here (could it be a bit of a swine then ?)
hmmm - an eerie silence was the swift reply !!

You can't get the part on its own, you have to buy a kit.
Number 8 in this picture, this might not be the right caliper for your car.

Two round objects are shown which could be some sort of spring clip, I've never done this job before so I don't know the exact details.

Why not get a complete caliper from a scrapyard? Much easier job, probably almost as cheap, and any other damaged / worn parts will be gone too.

you'll need to register but it doesn't cost
