Same here Lonnie,
I just changed my brakes last spring . I went with the Dexter self adjusters, and love them. No having to adjust the brakes yourself, and they werent too much more expensive than the non adjustable brakes. Here is where I found had the best price on the Dexternev-r-adjust brakes

Just change the whole backing plate with hardware, its 4 bolts on mine and 2 wires. The wires do not have to be hooked up in an particular way too. You just cut and rewire them. Make sure you use a watertight type of splice. (I soldered them shrink tubed mine)
