I need the return springs and the adjuster spring at the bottom, I can't seem to find any kit that has the bottom adjuster spring size

I should be able to tell, but the coffee hasn't kicked in yet- are those 9, 10, or 11" brakes?
 
And which spring exactly are you looking for? The torsion spring (red) or extension spring (green)?

Those are not correct size if you see my pic the spring is much thinner and longer
I already have the style ones that show at rock auto but they are shorter and thicker around than the ones I need
 
Just buy a brake hardware kit. It will have just about everything you need, new.
No problem finding the kits I just cant find the correct size for the lower spring, my spring is thinner and longer than everything I see out there I actually have the other springs and they don't fit and tension is increased due to the thicker diameter, if you see the spring you'll notice the one I need is thinner and longer than what I see in the available kits,

I think I have what you need. They are NOT new but good originals. I will have to find them & get pictures & measurements if your interested. (I don't know why I save some of this stuff)

Go to your local GOOD parts store and buy them. Order them if you must but you will have them in hand to see if they are correct.

Remember many if these internet photos are generic not specific to every application.
 
I looked for the springs & can't find them. I put them all in a ziplock bag. I am pretty sure I have what you want though, I just have to find um'. I will keep looking. You are looking for the long thin spring that keep the bottom of the brake shoes against the self adjuster, correct?

thats correct
 
I found them. Are these what you are looking for? They are from a 10" Mopar rear drum brake set-up.

Is that brake set up something unusual (off something besides a Mopar A-body)? I've just never seen this kind of problem on FABO before...

The spring on the top is the one I need, the bottom is whats most available
