Hi All.
I have a 69 Charger R/T with 11" manual brakes with manual adjusters. I am converting to automatic adjusters. Per the FSM it shows a small dia. spring that runs from front shoe to rear shoe. Is this spring available anywhere? I have been unable to find any of these springs. I have attached a photo to illustrate the spring I'm searching for.

Look at the spring kit from Rockauto. I bought all my self adjuster kit from them.

'69 didn't have self adjusters on 11" brakes, so don't go by your FSM.  You'll have to use a later year.  A set of all the springs you'll need per end are $6 at RockAuto.  The pic you showed look like 10" drums.  11" are setup a little different.  Check out the '73 FSM chassis manual to see what I'm talking about.
