Default Where to find an early '28 "abell" replacement bendix spring

The starter stopped engaging on my early '28 A. It spins but doesnt engage the flywheel. Removing the starter shows a broken bendix spring. I havent had any luck locating a replacement (I havent called all the part suppliers yet), it looks like the Ts used a slightly different diameter spring and the later A's after Oct 1, 1928 used a 5/8in shaft instead of 1/2inch. Looks like this part was only used on the early production A's. Any ideas on where to find one? Ide rather not replace the entire bendix assembly with the revised design but thats an option I guess. Thanks
