Help! Need drum brake parts for '62

I just found out why my parking brake isn't working. I'm missing the bar (e-brake bar, or maybe its called the parking brake strut?) on both sides. If anyone has a line on a couple of these...let me know! Oh yea...i need the springs that attach to the ends too.
thanks!
Brad

I have 2 full drums from a 61 sitting in my garage, but I am not sure which parts exactly you are wanting

Re: Help! Need drum brake parts for '62

Are you talking about the piece inside the drum that the cable is connected to? It's on the lower side, can't remember which side but that bar anyway.

Here's a diagram. Is it part U?
