Default Window regulator spring - Slant Window

Help!! I'm looking for the larger of the two springs for the front driver's door window regulator on my slant window Model A. Told by Brattons they are no longer made. Tried Bill's in Pennsylvania and Jim Gordon's in Rosemead,CA. Any suggestions? Do you know of a spring maker?

Thanks.

Bob

for the last five years I have bought every one I have found. they are real hard to find. I`m out of them right now and I`m 4 short for what I have on hand now. on the bigger spring the 32 ford will work, you can try Bert`s, I bought all he had last year and I have not check with them lately.

I used a spare spring from my 57 chevy, its a little on the strong side, but it worked for two years before the whole regulator gave up the ghost.

What is the diameter of the spring you need? A picture would help also.

It used to be the smaller spring was the harder one to find.
So now the large one is out of production?

This window spring as been laying around for many a year, it will not fit the regulators I have, maybe it is the one that is needed, if not can someone ID it.
