Default C39515 Spring needed

Little spring, big trouble. This is the clutch pedal spring which is supposed to make engaging the clutch less physical. Mine went into pieces. After asking all part sellers I could find the answer is "not available".
If anyone has any idea if some other spring could fit I'd be most thankful. Maybe someone has an unused pedal box with this spring still inact?

That's just a pedal return spring (and is called that in the parts manual), not a helper spring. Not necessary if everything in the clutch hydraulic system is up to snuff.

Thanks. Then it must be the new cylinder which must be lesser diameter, thus making the clutch harder to press. Damn, my old cylinder only needed a rubber ring which the manufacturer said is out of stock as obsolete. Perhaps I should have been more creative and repaired the old one instead of buying a new. Was overpriced, too. Could have saved some $600.

A smaller diameter cylinder will be easier to push not harder.

l assumed he changed the slave cylinder, not master. Just a guess however.
