Default Escort diesel van, rear brake adjusters

For an R plate.
Lookers are wanting £70 + vat for a pair, anyone know where i can get them cheaper. ?
I'm not a tight arse but i'm finding that rather extortionate.
Seems they're a dealer only part.
Thanks.

Ps, sorry if i posted this in the wrong section, i'm not sure where it should be.

The teeth have gone, mainly on the little circular part, can't get amything near them to re-cut them.
