Need brake part


Hey all!  I have a '73 squareback, and was fixing the speedo cable last 
week. While spinning the drivers tire I heard a nasty scraping sound.  After 
pulling off the tire, I noticed that the spring in back of the disk brake 
pads was broken in two.  I removed it, went on vacation, etc. Now I get home 
to find that the only junkyard around that even HAS a replacement spring 
wants me to buy the whole caliper.  What a ripoff!  (The existing caliper, 
pads, and everything are perfectly fine.)

So!  Does anyone have an extra spring I could buy?  (It's the cross-shaped 
piece of metal that goes behind the pads and in front of the pins holding 
the pads onto the calipers.)  I would really love to get just this piece and 
not have to buy the whole damn caliper.  The piece is so small (about 3" X 2 
1/2" or so...) that I think it could be mailed from just about anywhere.  
Please get back to me if you can help.  I don't want to move the car until I 
fix this.  Thanks alot in advance!!! -mark
