There is a peice on each side that maintains the separation between the emergency brake mechinism and the brake shoes. I believe they are called "brake bars" and there are also springs that go with them. These are made of flat metal and are shaped sort of like an end wrench. I have not been able to find them in any of the catalogues that I have. Thanks.
