Default Drum Brake Help...

Can anyone point me in the right direction on where I can find a complete, fully assembled pair of 9 inch drum brakes (with internals) for a Fox 8.8 4 lug rear? I always thought I was pretty good with finding things online, but this crap has stumped me for a good week or so.

I found replacement drums and shoes alone but can't find anything else that makes up the drum brake.

Even if you know where I can get JUST the backing plate, with all the springs, cylinder, screws, levers, etc... that would truly be a big help.

I don't plan on changing the rear to disc brakes or going to 5 lug and I just want to make sure my whole braking system is fresh and in working order. Thanks.

Check a salvage yard for the backing plates. Your local autoparts store should have the shoes, wheel cylinders, and hardware (springs etc.).

Thanks. I think I've found everything EXCEPT for the backing plates. It's like looking for a needle in a hay stack

I'll keep searching so that I don't have to go to a junk yard...I don't even know if they exist in my area.

If anyone has any ideas where I can can get a new backing plate, let me know. Thanks again!
