Re: clips on oem brake pads, not on Repco MMs for Girling dual piston Calipers

To retract the outboard pads away from the rotor, as the carrier moves back.

Nope, works fine without them.

> 3.   One of each pair Repco MMs came with wires for wear sensors, evidently my car does not have a matching connector for this feature.  Do any fellow Coupe Q or 90 owners have cars with the pad wear sensors?? 

Nope -- not a feature on these cars.

I just clipped them off, but probably doesn't make much difference either way...
