Default Springs for tailwheels?

I lost one of the springs on my sullivan tailwheel on a giant scale plane. I went down to the hardware store and they had lots of springs, however, they were all very stiff. Does anybody know where I can look for new springs?

Try another hardware store. The Ace Hardware near me has lots of choices for less than a buck.

Thanks. I ended up finding identical springs at my local lumber yard.
