PFC 08 brake pad backing plate clip broke off

Was swapping out by PFC 08 track brake pads and the backing plate clip on the outer front pad popped off.

Is it an issue to run the pad without the backing plate clip in place?

No problem. Use to run it like that all the time. Just have to hold it in place when putting the caliper back on. The clips tend of fall off easily.

You'll get a little pad rattle on the street, but it's no problem and won't have a negative effect on braking. Run them and enjoy the braking goodness.

Very unlikely.
