75 Dart, rear 10" drums brakes, have a "strut bar' between the shoes, with an oval shaped spring on the strut. It's not in any kits, and the 2 big brake distributors here in Seattle determined that it is no longer available. They all say go to the dealer. (I might). Anyone have a good part number / source for that spring? or one that works OK?

I might have one of those. Let me check my parts stash tomorrow.

Raybestos H1338. Rock auto has them closeout for less then a buck, O'reilly's website shows them in their house brand also (h1338-2). Plenty on ebay as well.

Should be included in the genuine Chrysler hardware package, part number 4049 681.

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

Thanks guys. Pressed for time, I was able to make a H-1336-2 work safely. Sorry I haven't been back here for a few days to reply to all, but I did order an H-1342-2 set just to see and try, but it has not arrived yet. if the H-1338's are correct, then I'll just buy a stash of new ones for stock, as our family is running 5 A-bodies with 10" rear drums. ( Reed, thanks for the offer!)

The H-1342-2's came. They are the exact dimensions but a slightly heavier gauge of wire making them stiffer. They would probably work, but I'll follow your lead and try a set of H-1338's for comparison.

The H-1338-2 number is the exact fit. Rockauto. Thanks all.
