You're right Charles. Since the calipers are behind the axle, and the pads stand vertically, the clips go in a notch at the bottom of the caliper. The clips and the guide pins are in a pic I posted awhile ago, a page or two back.
I logged back in because I wanted to mention that those guide pins can be installed in the same two ways most things can: Right and Wrong. Right means that the little nubbins on the pins engage the Caliper Bracket. It's possible to install them in a way that the nubbins don't keep the pins from sliding out of place. That, and be sure to use a quality brake lube/anti seize/anti rattle like Permatex high temp for ceramic, purple label.
