Ollie,
I don't know what the odds of you finding a new spring for this lighter are, but I would think they are pretty slim. I collect lighters, and have never really been able to find a good source for replacements.I usually buy up old lighters that dont work or need parts. I have been lucky is some cases of finding what I need that way. Flea markets and yard sales are good sources. Hope that helps. TG
