Rog, I found these at a local hardware store. The 2 smallest sizes of electric motor brushes have a spring that is a good fit.
You cut the spring retainer off copper wire end holding it in place. Remove the spring and cut it in half dead center. You then use 2 needle nose pliers to put a 90 degree bend on the last loop at each end. I gave $4.40 each for them.
