Great picture cartoonist!
I made a spring using a piece of thin saw blade. I used a propane torch to take the temper out. Filed the piece to shape and bent it to the correct shape. Then reheated it and dropped it in oil to retemper it. It then slipped into place following cartoonist's picture.
Yes it took a couple of tries, (and a couple of broken pieces) but it worked.
Good luck!
