missing brake parts

Took apart my front brakes, and all the shims are missing, and the pad retainers are missing from the passenger side. Turning the rotor by hand on that side, it feels like the pads are rubbing a little.

Can't seem to find any front brake hardware kits online - it seems like I should at least have pad retainers on both sides, what do you think? Anyone got any extras?

AutoZone sells them. I imagine most all parts stores do ( http://www.autozone.com/selectedZip,.../selectZip.htm )



As for the shims, they usually come w/ the new brake pads.
