Default Brake cable return spring

Does anyone know where I can obtain the circled spring for my right rear parking brake cable? Bought a new cable and it did not come with this spring. Discontinued through Dodge and not in any aftermarket catalogs. Thanks for any advice.

If you can determine what size it is supposed to be, might be able to order from some specialty spring manufacturer. I know they make 'em in all sorts of sizes and shapes.

This has come up before, try to find a similar looking spring from a different manufacturer or older/newer vehicle. Also check specialty places for 60s-80s vehicles, old Mustangs used similar springs. It might take some finagling to make it work.

Just looked around a bit, NAPA has compression springs in various lengths that look like they might work. Cheap too. Just search for "spring" on their website.
