If you go on vagcat.com there is a breakdown of components there which should show you where everything goes.

Pictures of mine from my 1978 Scirocco, 1978 is the change over year from manual to automatic adjuster so make sure you have the right brake shoes and springs..

Yes its a sort of ring slightly open style ring/clip to stop the handbrake cable flapping about in the drum
Picture a bit rubbish but you can see the ring/clip.
As for finding new springs Im not sure where to find them, I looked on ebay and they only seem to list the later style automatic adjuster style of springs.
These are the style you DONT want even those they list they fit…..
