Doug,
I'm guessing any starter/alternator shop would have springs to fit it. Even
in tiny Dodge City I have an old guy who works wonders with non-domestic
starters/generators/alternators. That said, remember that a good concours
judge will have you disassemble your starter to be certain the brush springs
are correct... ;-)
Cheers!!
Jim
