yes. Very much so.  But I assumed most of you did. He has rare OEM parts, especially HiPo parts.
To clarify more Fred Ballard is who the "Fred" reference refers to. Fred is also the one the rebuilds the button top fuelpumps.

That's what I was thinking, but I know of more than one Fred out there.  Thanks for the clarification.

Gents,
Thanks for the inspiration! All components look to be reusable.

I used evaporust, a wire wheel for the toughest muck, brake clean and closest-color paint I could find (note: dupli-color is pontiac-blue), then sprayed components with boeshield.

Gents,
I was referencing the 1966 Mustang Exploded View Illustration Manual by Jim Osborn Reproductions and noticed the following components missing from my rear drum brakes.  Picture shows those items highlighted I am missing. 

Question:  These obviously aren't critical components and nobody noticed I was missing them so do you guys have them on your rear drum brakes?

2092--rubber plug-only of the brakes have been previously serviced.
2A787--no, never seen one.
2028---no
372583-S---yes always there.
i have done countless brake jobs over the years and those are my recollections.

Thank you carlite!

2A787 is the retainer for the parking brake spring washer.  I also noticed I'm missing both my LH and RH side of the parking brake cable levers.  Perhaps the reason my parking brake never worked.

Part 2028 in the picture, I found out, is for 6 cyl only according to NPD.  They call this part the "plate for the brake shoe anchor pin".

I have no affiliation to the ebay link above, but 16 for $15 is a no-brainer.

50 for less than $10, delivered:

I have 2028 on both sides of my 69 Shelby GT350. Goes on before the springs. I'd take a picture but my drums are already on. That way you can't tell if its painted flat or gloss.  :-p  Just kidding. I cleaned it with brake cleaner and stuck it back in.
Accurate looking but not a Concours Restoration/build. See my build photo gallery at 69GT350 Hertz Build

I believe these will end up being silver. Careful inspection (given the pic quality) shows silver through the plastic.
I will find out since I need a few for various cars I have.

If I feel the need I can spray them goldish. It's not like anyone can see them.

A easy DIY with paint if you don't have access to dyeing/plating them would be the Eastwood zinc gold faux finish system. It consists of a base coat silver spray paint and three translucent green ,red and gold spray paints . You could get by with just using the translucent gold on that small part. It is already silver after all. I have bought the gold separately before from Eastwood.
