Welcome to the forum from the Wiregrass! Apparently that's a common problem with these old top breaks because I have seen a number of postings on them. You can get a schematic from Numrich (gunpartscorp.com) or David Chicoine (oldwestgunsmith.com). Unfortunately, it won't give you dimensions so you can make your own. Sometimes, they have parts, but I believe these old springs are getting to be hard to find. You might also look at Poppert's Gun Parts and Jack First (jackfirstgun.com). Also, forum member Gary Lowe knows a lot about these guns and may be able to help you to fabricate your own.
