I think the "little-black-plastic-threaded-thingy-that the hammer spring fits in to" you describe is what I originally had with the CS9 factory Hogue gummy grips. I need something similar, but that will fit with the modified 3913 grip.
Sorry if I am not following this or describing it very well. I appreciate any help you can give me.

David - I understood that you were cutting down a 3913 grip to fit a CS9. When you do that you cut off the "socket" in the stock grip that supports the hammer spring. You can solve the problem by taking the piece that holds the Hogues in place (I didn't realize that you already had that) and using that piece with the cut down 3913 grip. You should be able to use the stock spring and cup. The block (I think Hogue calls in an insert) is usually a tight fit on the tits on the bottom of the frame, but you can pin it if you want. The problem you may run in to is securing the (modified) grips. You can either drill it for a pin or drill it for screws which will attach to the Hogue "insert". You may have to modify the "insert" a bit to make it fit inside the plastic grips, but it is easy to work with a sander or file.
