Broke a Hynautic steering head spring

[cruisintoo]

There is a small spring that pushes against each of the metal balls in head. While screwing the cover back in I managed to ruin the spring. They look like the springs found in retractable ball point pens. I assume the strength of the spring is important in the operation of the balland seat. Any ideas on where to get a new one?

Probably a part available through sams.
