Somehow I managed to lose the left side rear brake drum parking brake actuator. I had a leaking axel seal and it was a gooey mess inside the drum. So I need a new lever. It is a 69 Barracuda with an 8.75 rear end with Sure Grip 10 inch drum drakes and small bolt pattern drums/wheels. I found a pair on Ebay for only $32, but the guy specifically said in the listing that they would not fit the small bolt pattern because the offset was different. Strange, because they look the same. Then I went to Jim's Auto Parts' website, and they have some new ones that are listed to fit ALL 68-76 10 inch A body brakes. So what is the true story? I consider myself to be an accomplished Mopar mechanic, but I don't know this. For what it's worth, the right side lever has 662 2978 19098 stamped on it. Thanks in advance for your replies.
PS If anybody has an extra one, I am in the market.

I just went through the same search. The brake levers are the same. The struts that go between the brake shoes are different for 2.5" and 1.75" drums
