Thats a dingy wicket.......just kidding. I'm going to email you a guy that may have the part in case you need one. Maybe that will help.

thats definately not going to be found in a parts store my bet is that you will have to get one that is used from a member here. i doubt the dealer would even carry that being that its so old and they normally dont break

You might get lucky at Napa. Your best bet would be to put up a wanted ad in the parts section. Those can sometimes be tough to get off. Alot of guy's have switched over to discs. There should be alot of them laying around somewhere.

I think that is the anchor pin. Thats the "dingy wicket" up top where the springs attach, right? I say NAPA also, or a brake shop.
