TR2/3/3A TR3 Generator Springs?

Anyone have a source for the springs that hold the pickup bushings against the commutator in a TR3 generator? These are listed as N/A by the big three, but they appear to be simple steel coil springs that I would expect to find in many types of motors/generators.

I'm not sure, but is Key #7 what you're looking for? If so, looks like Moss UK has 'em for 2.30GBP

If it's not ok to post vendor links here, will someone please let me know? NFI at all - I've never even bought from them. Thanks!

Craig: take your unit to a local shop that specializes in auto electrics. They may be able to match it up.

They are Lucas part number 227542.
