Whats with this strange looking Dexter brake adjuster?

I had a wheel brake assembly on the trailer making a metal to metal dragging sound so I pulled it apart. What I found was the adjuster spring broke which allowed the adjuster to fall out of position....

I have 7" Dexter brakes on my snowmobile trailer. The star snaps right off like the are made of potato chips. Worse, Dexter doesn't sell replacement adjusters for the 7" brakes, you are to replace the entire assembly. I made adjusters from stainless steel.
