Also when I did the same to my brake pedal arm there were springs there too. Other than cleaning them up and re-using them in their worn state, does anyone have a source for such items? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Slim.

It's not how you fall down, but how you get back up.

Many hardware stores and industrial supply stores have coil springs in assorted sizes. You should be able to match up a new one to replace the old ones. Also try the internet. Look for something that matches your spring. Wire diameter, spring height, diameter and coil count.
If the spring is in good shape, just clean it and reuse.
