as long as you find a part that does the job i don't see why not... but others may have a different veiw, if it seems "shaky" don't do it. its not best to skimp out on the braking system
They're different from a garden variety c-clip. These are still available at the dealer, but if you're doing a Sunday afternoon parking brake project, that's no comfort. . . .

You might be able to get them at Napa, since other vehicles use these on their drum brake setups.
