Sorry., that is more than I can help you with.
Did you try the forum search function? This question come up once or twice every year and I seem to remember someone posting a link to a source for the springs you need.

Thanks Randy, a quick search came up with 500 matches, I'll go through them tonight and see what I can find (I'm on lunch break and have a 1:00 meeting). If nothing, I may get back in touch with you.
I'm working with bullets and trying to develop a parker version, everything is available except the spring. I hate to buy full kits and toss parts away, I've already got substantial clutter in the shop.
If anyone else knows of a source -- please chime in.
Thanks again Randy.

Thought I might be able to find the information faster than you could since I had seen the posts previously. Not much luck.
I did find this: http://www.penturners.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3630&highlight=springs
Elliot Landes shut down his business last year and sold off all of his stuff. I doubt he still has anything left; but you might try emailing him and asking where he bought his springs. Elliot was a production pen maker and probably bought his springs by the thousands so his source may not be practical for you; but it cant hurt to ask.

How about stealing them from cheap clicky pens?

Thank you very much! Either they just put them online or I'm blind (probably the later) because that is where I got all the other parts from!
Thank you all for your help. Tony
