need 2 Bendix 5" Brake springs

[cyclopsmoore]

Guys, I need new or like new brake springs for a 5" Bendix drum brake. this one came off a Cyclops but I think Boonie mini's also had similar brakes. I have tried to find through local parts stores and struck out here. Does anyone have a couple of springs they can spare or do you have a line on where they might be purchased? I am including pictures with dimensions below:

Check out Ebay item 320512807840, sure looks like what you are looking for.

G3,
they are heavily corroded , I'm don't trust them . Have you had any luck cleaning up and using old springs like this?

Bill, that is the whole unit, I would like to just find the springs if I can, but if all else fails this is an option, \

thanks

Given the condition of your old one you would be money ahead buying the whole thing and later when you can find just the springs rebuild the old one as a backup.

You could prob just clean it up with a new wire wheel.
