No sorry I didn't get your message. I think it has been deleted for some reason.
I can't understand why if you needed help for this surely this was fine

Not being an 1100 man although I have changed a couple of pads in my time. I am a tad puzzles about the ROD, retaining spring. What rod? Figure 7 points to the spring that's retained by the long split-pin, 6.

Am I missing something here?

I thought the same and came to the conclusion it was a typo for 'Pad' retaining spring.

I followed de text on the picture.... 7. Rod retaining spring.
Maybe it should be called Pad retaining spring...
What I need are the left and right side springs...as on the picture, number 7...

Thanks Trevorhp, but this is the spring for the fixed caliper and will not fit on the swinging caliper.
