Sliding Door rear latch spring source?

[DirtyBlueVan]

Hi, Anyone know where I can source (besides junk yard) a spring for the rear door latch mechanism?

http://www.bus-boys.com/slidingdoor84.html

The actual problem is with item "H". The spring that holds open the latch while the door is open is broken, which results in the latch falling down and not allowing the door to be shut without some manual human intervention (position door handle to open and manually flip latch back up).

It's starting to suck trying to shut the door resulting in a huge hit on the components. It only flops down about 1 out of 10 shuts.

Thanks for any help!

The big spring or the little spring? I bet if you call a few of the vendors you might find someone who has a used set-up. Otherwise look through the classifieds for someone who looks like a dismantler and email them. I know Ashley at Always V-Dub (Potland) has a huge stock of used parts. I've found many items there by just stopping by and asking.
