What is this brake gadget called please?

What is the device called that fits behind old school calipers used to centre them. Never had them but would like to put some on my Haro. Saw many at MK this year. Tried hunting for them but don't know what to search for. Thanks guys

Ha ha, thanks guys. That looks like it. Guessing that means you can't buy em separately. Guess I'll just have to keep fiddling with my 890s hoping that I accidentally get them centred/working  "help"

I believe it was 84. They come up for sale and are added to earlier callipers though.

Ghetto centralizer always worked for me. Just bend the spring arm straighter on the weaker side and make sure all the interfering parts are well greased
Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

The centralisers on my 1983 MX900's look og (I have the pair): wear, patina etc all look good. Are you sure of the 1984 date? I would be surprised. No beef here, I have them but not needed for my Aero Pro.
