Brake Parts

I'm working on an old Schwinn Sprint and I need help finding a part. It has the standard Schwinn approved Wienman center-pull brakes and I'm missing one of the little red plastic flanged bushing holders. Is there anywhere where I can order one of those little thingies?

local bike coop should sell you a whole brake unit for less than buying and shipping the part online would cost

OR an LBS could have a repl. part. Sprints are standard parts, even the Schwinn stuff is in name only. Bike Shops the place to start.
