Big Brake Question Please Help

[66StangGuy]

ok my stang has 4 wheel drum brakes..yes i know i need to upgrade..anyway for the time being i was trying to put new shoes in my stang and noticed a broken part. im not sure what its called but its the part that looks like a round fork. it goes from the wheel cylinder to the brake shoe. i dont know what its called and one of the fork peices was broken off. i went to pep boys , autozone, kragen...everywhere i could think of and no one knows what its called or where i can get it. i ended up just taking a bolt and cutting it in the same shape as the good piece from the other side. took me an hour with my dremel. anyway it all works for now but i need to replace everything still. i dont like it the way it is. anyway please let me know if you know what its called or where i can get it. i hope someone knows because everywhere i went people were clueless.
