inside door handle springs

[n2666s]

big thank you to fj55-100 and Double Nickles ;
got the handle brackets but now one of the springs holding the handle and returning it back into place in the bracket broke have been searching threads and also looking for replacement springs for last week and haven't found any substitutes; ideas hugely appreciated............all mine are rusted to hell anyone else have this problem?; also sources for the little plastic clips holding the door opening rods in place as can be seen scrapdaddys post oct 13th 2015

Lou,

I have some extra plastic clips I'll send you. If you want send me your address in private conversation and I can get them out.

Really a weird shaped spring straight in the middle where crosses bracket and then the two extensions that hold it in place; haven't run across anything that remotely resembles it;

AR hammer spring might work

got the AR spring bars but sadly don't think they will work AR Spring bar has 4 coils; the Toyota has 7; the bar itself is a lot longer than the Toyota + trying to figure out a way to bend the latch part "outer part" of the spring where it catches into the plastic circled in yellow

tried with my needle nose and ended up with a V instead of a U ; my youngest's friendly orthodontist recommended "PREMIUM INSTRUMENTS Dental Aderer Three Prongs Pliers Orthodontic Wire Bending" will see how it goes and let ya'll know

Wow. Those sound cheap.

they are what the orthodontist uses; he can make a nice curve with them to fit brackets over teeth all I seem to be able to do with needle noses is to make a sharp "V"
