    Omix makes a kit for a 78-86 Jeep CJ-5, CJ-7 & CJ-8 that is a 10"x2" Drum Brake Master Service Kit (New Drums, Springs, Clips, etc.). Can anyone confirm that this would fit my 1969 CJ5 with 10" Brakes?

    Drums & shoes available from Rock Auto, and probably your FLAPS as well.
    Hardware for these is hard to find, though. If you have missing or broken components, do the aforementioned 11" conversion ( or discs).

    I don't see any of the self adjuster parts there, that's the stuff that seems to be unobtanium.

    Are you speaking of the blue coiled spring, or the gray pressed metal piece at the very bottom?

    And if the OP is refreshing original brakes, there's little reason to think that gray piece and the 6" wire that triggers it couldn't be reused.
