Try a kit for a 65 year drum set up ? Oh and if you can PM me the size I may have two new one's at the shop I will send ya !

 

[CRAIGXLH1]

here the diffance between automatic and manual adjusters

 

[wedge69]

Yep thats like the 65 set up.

 

[A383Wing]

order a kit for 11" manual adjusted brakes, not self adjusters or 10" brakes...they are in the kits, you just need to find someone that can look up parts correctly

I have quite a few of those original springs available in good used condition they where used on 68's with 11x 3 inch brakes yours must be a very early built 69. I had a 69 GTX here years ago that was built 8/68 and it also had them on. PM me if you still need some

I have a drawer full of these things and assorted parts. send me a detailed deminsions and a picture, and a mailing address and if I have one I will it to you

Stupid question here......why not convert to the automatic adjusters??? Unless you like adjusting the rears, I would convert.

I emailed Rick Ehrenberg which is a mopar expert. He said those parts are no longer available. He recommends switching to automatic vs manual.
