   How big are they? Could just be the ones of the slider on the brake caliper

   Not sure if this makes sense... but on the rear calipers, there's an L shaped bit of metal on the bottom which you hammer under the lugs of the brake pads to secure them.
   
   There's a hole in the said bits of metal for you to pop the pin into - you might need to hammer the bit of metal out to allow you to slot the pin in, then hammer it back the other way.

   Number 2 is the said bit of metal, number 1 is the pin.

    Quite a handy site for some bits as the 8V engines/ rear brakes etc. are the same as what's fitted to the Saxo/ 106.
