G1 launcher springs?

Kind of a long shot here, but does anyone know of a place to pick up (or cheaply replace) the G1 toy launcher springs? E.g., the little springs that were pretty much the same in the all G1 launcher guns? They seemed to be the standard in all the G1 toys and were used in things like Devastator's forearms, Jazz's missile launcher, etc. They're about 1/8" wide by 9/16" long and slightly widened on one end. I've included a pic here to illustrate what I'm talking about...

While I'm at it, does anybody know of a place to pick up the smaller springs that fit inside the white plastic axle drums used by Omega Supreme?

I would usually just buy a replacement launcher of eBay. Have you looked on Google to see if there are any local companies that could supply them for you?

A tiny plastic crap on Ebay: 5$+40$ship, 40$+5$ship or 40$+40$ship.

ALL OF MY HATE.

Oh yea! Ball point click pens. Good idea! :)

I also found this while searching... looks like they've got just about any kind of small spring you'd ever want: http://www.springsfast.com/mw-fe-16.htm
