Where is part no 13070 supposed to fit? Diagram suggests it's supposed to straddle the pads across the rear. If that's correct regardless of how I fit it there's nothing to stop it falling/vibrating out?

Its stainless and has two wee fingers, one each end. You may need to bend them a tiny bit but essentially it sits to the right of where it is shown in the picture and in the same orientation as it is shown. There is a tiny milled shelf and it rests there. Shelf is about 3mm or so deep. The fingers stop it slipping out sideways and the ears of the pads rest on it and stop it lifting out. In turn the pads are held down onto it by the springy retainer thing 92081.
The pads move side to side along it and i usually add a tiny smear of copper slip though its likely un-necessary.
I dont see the other one but there are supposed to be two. The other one facing it, 'mirror image' style for the ears on the other side of the pads.

Ah so it goes in before the pads? And sits under the pad ears? That would stop it coming out the the diagram suggests the pad go in betore the oujit thingameebob.
