[Closed] Shimano pad axle safety clips

Anyone know where I can buy these? The only options I can find are with the axle at £5 a throw, and I seem to have lost a few of them recently riding through overgrown trails. Seems the ferns have a habit of pulling them off.

I know I could use split pins but I prefer the axles/clips.

Do you mean the tiny little clips that goes on the end of the threaded bolt? I often don't bother refitting them after changing pads. It's not like I'm relying on the clip to hold the bolt in, that's what the threads are doing.

I've never ever lost one - are you fitting them properly (and facing the right way)?
