Where to buy a lens spring?

[Kozhe]

Hi guys,

I´m trying to fix a Vivitar 24-48 lens and I need to replace a small spring, like 15mm long 1mm wide. Any idea where can I get this kind of pieces? I´ve been looking on the net but I barely found nothing.

Thanks in advance!

There's an answer there somewhere, because I posted it, but I'm damned if I can remember the company's name! As it happened, the spring's ends weren't man enough...

Might be Century Spring Corporation? But that's a wild guess...
