Default Pickering Governor tension adjusting spring

Does anyone have a spare tension adjusting spring for a Pickering governor or know where I might obtain one? The little tag on one end of mine has broken off.
Would be interested to know of any leads to a replacement.

Chris Griffin on here makes all manner of springs. Just supplied me (March 2017) with a new set of flat springs and the cross tension spring for a Pickering Governor. Excellent and economically priced service.

It may be worth looking in stock spring catalogues, this is just one example, different companies have different ranges.

Google is your friend.

I have a spare tension spring but I have heard that there are so many different sizes and shapes that you would consider yourself lucky to find one already made that was just right.
