Title: Pancake motor parts for an F9 engine

I know this is a long shot because pancake motors haven't been around since the 80's, but I am trying to find the tiny springs that apply pressure to the motor brushes. Anyone have any ideas?

Trim down a knuckle coupler spring.

Thanks, Len! I'll try that but I think those springs are too small. I'll let you know.

I don't know what size they are or what you want to spend.

Thanks Terry and bapguy! The set from Amazon is a more than I need, but the Athearn springs look like what I need. I appreciate it!
