Default rear park brake shoes

Chaps,

Has anyone recently changes the rear park brake shoes?
I have to do mine as there is almost no park brake (was like this when I bought the car).

I went to Murays auto parts an the guys there were muppets, first guy said no problem but order them and it will be 2 days, so when I went back the next guy said my order was canceled as they has ordered standard shoes for rear brakes from a non turbo model, not the park brake shoes for turbo model. He then said that it must be main dealer only and he couldn't order them.

One autozone said it was nearly $70 and 3+ weeks to get them, another said he couldnt order them, the third Autozone guy has ordered some for me and I paid only $27 for them and $7 for the spring kit.

There's something fishy going on and I feel that when I get the parts they are'nt going to fit

I have a haynes manual but does anyone know the part number for these park brake shoes?
