A pair of bolts goes through the caliper and pads, securing them and further reducing flex. You turn it and uit snaps off at torque. About $40 and a PITA for trackside changes. Apparently companies workign on re-usable kit. Again, i'm fuzzy about the specifics until i see it and hold it.

Note - for non-track driven cars the brakes likely perform better with better feel. Speculation of course.
