    So I noticed that the front drum brake self adjusting lever hook that comes in the adjuster kit (goes on top spring pivot point) is different than the original. The replacement is longer and shaped differently. Not usable. All the pics for kits at different shops show same thing. Is there a source for the correct part? I know own I can reuse the original. Just want to see if there is a new part available. Thanks...

    I thought I got my kits from NAPA when I did mine maybe 5 years ago, all parts were basically identical to the originals at the time.

    I really am apprehensive about ordering it because the pic for Napa shows the same link as the Wagner one (the wrong one). I'll check maybe it is buick only?

    If it looks like the lower one in the photograph...

    I tried to find a new one about two years ago. Never found a new replacement. All the kits had the incorrect link in the packaging. I finally got a used one from Bruno (if I remember correctly).

    No NAPA close enough to go check(question mark). (my QM key has failed me)

    That is the one exactly.
