I needed springs for a Maxwell that is no longer in production so I have a great tip for you.  Go to your local big box store or ACE hardware and find their drawer full of springs and overstretch a small compression spring turning it into the size of tension spring you need. One compression spring will make many tension ones, worked for me...
