Pic request - GSL Rear Caliper

I need a picture showing all the little springs and clips that hold the brake pads in. The FSM doesnt really show the hardware. Can anyone help?

All my brake hardware has been mixed up, and im not 100% positive what goes where.

If possible, a picture of the ebrake cable attaching to the caliper would also be helpful.

For what they're worth:

The metal sliders can be figured out with a little patience, they just need to clip onto the caliper so that the pads slide smoothly.

The ebrake cable slots into a forked arm on the caliper, then gets anchored by some nuts to a fixed point on the axle.

Thanks, but those are so small, i cant see what im looking for.

I got the hardware stuff sorted out. but, im still having problems. I cant get the damn outter pad to stay put. When ever i test it, the outter brake pad wants to move towards the center of the rotor. IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY! The next thing im going to try is to RTV the pad to the caliper, set the parking brake, and let it sit over night. Any suggestions?
