Where is best place to buy , or has any one got new , front brake shoe retention springs , I need a pair for standard FC drum brakes ..Also same request for FC sedan hand brake cable , rear section drums to pivot point ..
Expensive Bits (earlybitz) has a replacement kit that includes springs and clips etc on eBay for $89.99
If you have the pins I would imagine that any of the later model clips would fit. I don't have any handy for reference but Rares stocks them for HT-WB for $29.95.
Rares and Resto/Kingswood Country also have the Handbrake Cable Rear (FE FC FB EK Manual) - 7409623 $114.95
I have that one and the front cable on my list to purchase.
I found a single spring when tidying up recently and would be happy to post it to you if of any use Vern. It will be FB but maybe the same. I’ll post up a pic with some dimensions. I recall front snd rear are different. Been a while since I gave up on stock brakes.

Thanks for the offer Errol ..There are two on the car and look a little better than yours ..I have to do a brake overhaul and decided to put new ones regardless ..so i wont trouble you to post it , thanks .I took the car to the local inspection station for rego check ..It was very embarrassing , just as I drove in the front RH wheel locked up .. The friction material on the leading shoe came away from the metal shoe and travelled around with the drum and jammed the mechanism and the wheel ...B and R brakes had a set of shoes on the shelf , two sets in fact ..so I got out of trouble , passed rego , I am not happy with one of the cylinders , also hand brake is sticky ,so i'll do a overhaul all round ..
G'day Vern I have both springs 7416274 and cable 7409623 NOS
$130 plus postage if you cant get anything closer
