WTB : Brake Caliper Locking Tabs

Hi Guys,
 
I will be fitting up my Volvo Calipers in the next week or so and I need a couple of the above to ensure they don't fall off.
 
You can get them new on the net but they seem to be made of much thinner cheaper metal and they tend to twist and break easy.
 
I'd prefer a set of original old ford ones if anyone has some surplus.
 
I am in Melbourne's East but happy to pay for postage.
 
Cheers,
 
Matt

    No point Matt, Just use a flat washer and a spring washer on the bolts

    Make it go FASTER!

     Really, I can get a set of lock tabs for cheap.  Is the washer idea better / more safe?

    Hi Matt
    If I can draw one up I'm sure I can get as many as cut as you would ever need.
     

    Cheers

    I'm sure you can. 
     
    You can get them from the Yoo K for about $12AUD landed but I got some rotor lock tabs but they seemed quite thin and tore a little bit as they were tightened so i thought I'd go the original ford ones if someone had some surplus.
     
    Cheers,
