if you buy calipers semi loaded they come with all the sprongs & new pins etc , not sure if the hardware kits is available for them separatly but it should be

I got lucky a friend had 2 new ones & i actually had 2 left on the car, napa didn't have them, there is a chance that an older parts store might just have em hangin on a brake parts rack, I can't find my pic of the new ones still in the pac, was hopin to scope a part # for ya. Rich.

I don't think you really need em ,on my 74 they are missing, brakes work fine, haven't driven it enough to know if they actually rattle or not? Rich.

well i went to do the swap today and found that i have to have the banjo style brake lines and that the arm that goes to the tie rod end would not work so i have to use the one from my drums. i hate it when this happens
