Drum shoe spring kit

So I opened up the passenger's rear drum on my '85 as it was locking and one of the springs is broken. Does anyone know where I can get a spring kit so I can replace all the springs? I checked on Atkins and Mazdatrix and website shows either out of stock or NLA. I put emails in to them and RB just to get an idea of what's available. Any help is appreciated!

I went to budget brakes with the intent of paying $10 for the brake retaining pin and the spring and the cup. The guy gave me the retaining pin for FREE

There was an upset guy, who came in behind me. I gestured to let him go 1st. Patience can go a long way.

I matched the spring as best I could with what was available at the local parts store. Thanks for the help guys!
