KY Missing parking brake parts.

I have a 1985 GS. I knew the parking brake didn't work when I bought the car but now I see why. Both cables have snapped or been cut by previous owner. I now have two new cables and on the driver side I will simply connect the cable to the lever attached to the brake shoe. On the passenger side however, the lever to attach the parking brake cable is missing as is the adjusting bar in the top side. Does anyone know where I might be able to find such a piece? rockauto, autozone, oreilly, advance, even google dont know. Thanks guys.

Get a rebuilt caliper if the individual part cant be sourced or go to a pull apart.

More Information for CENTRIC 14145501

It is a drum brake set up. There aren't any cars in junkyards near me, but the search continues. It would be awesome if someone had some leftover parts from a disc brake swap.

Some other mazda models used the same drum brakes, like the GLC and 626 maybe.

Another option is to get the part number and cross check it against other mazda models to see what else uses it.
