WTD Urgently: 2x SW20 Front Brake Anti-Squeal Springs

Has anyone around Newcastle got 2 anti squeal springs for SW20 front brakes?
I finally got around to re-fitting my brakes, I was trying to put my pads in the most difficult way and managed to send one of the anti squeal springs flying across the back yard!
I searched for 15 minutes and couldn't find it, so I had the bright idea of compressing the other one and seeing where it landed... I lost that one too!
I did manage to get the other set in properly so I won't be making the same mistake again! :)
Thanks to anyone that can help me out!
 
Cheers.

    Dammit, I've called Toyota and some local brake places, these ****s are hard to find!

    The bits I'm after are the V shape bits in the bottom left of the B&W pic. 

    They sit in the pads to force them apart. After finding this picture I now know the easy way to fit them...

    In the past I've ordered them from Amayama, the last set I bought used from mrmr2 on the forums as I couldn't wait for shipping from Amayama.
    Cheers.

    Sorry to laugh at your pain but this is hilarious. We've all been there before!

    I did my brake pads just recently and when I was doing the rears, I could not for the life of me remember how the outer rear brake pads went in (the ones with the wear indicator) and compressed/sprung one right into my face. Then I had the bright idea of checking the other side to see how the pads went in (which I hadn't touched yet) and realised my mistake.. good times!
