brake caliper shims

[pylwagl]

So, having stripped the front brake calipers on my 350LC there is no sign of the thin metal pad backing plate or the shim that sits in the shim retainer (as shown in Haynes manual - items 6 and 9). There is no evidence of either of these two parts ever having been fitted. The bike is an '82 (tie-bar) but is it possible the calipers are from a different year bike that didnt have these fitted? The calipers are stamped 12K and 12H on the back. 
If I do need these parts, does anyone know where they are available, I cant seem to find the anywhere

I've had a couple of these kits before, they're getting quite expensive and thin on the ground now. Can't see your pics but assume you are looking for the shims in this kit. Have a search around as they can be found cheaper than this. Just a listing I grabbed off fleabay.

Sorry can't remember if these are early or late version pads.
