Default Camaro front brake calipers - "tick... tick... tick..."

Bob, et al:

Cobra is running great. I've logged about 550 miles in a little under a month, and I'm shaking out a few details, the last of which is a noticable "tick...tick...tick..." coming from the front brakes as I roll. I've narrowed this down to some visible movement of the pads in the Camaro brake calipers. The pads fit okay, and are in no danger of coming loose, but I can rotate the rotor back and forth and see the pads shifting back and forth between the pins holding them in place.

Ever see this issue before?

I purchased the calipers from a local Chevrolet dealer (now gone) and the pads from my local auto parts store. I am not aware of any clips or springs to hold these pads and keep them from shifting.

I'd like to figure out how to get rid of this annoying (and a little embarrassing) "tick...tick...tick...". As a last resort, I'll upgrade to SSB's.

Any advice?
