Barry if you are still looking for that aerial spring I wonder if you have looked at the collection of WW2 American Antenna and the relevant parts on this site?

Certainly one of the springs in the small detail pictures looks like an option

I decided to wind my own using a shaped mandrel and piano wire.
This is the result, right now I'm going with them.
Thanks again for thinking of me.

I like your scratch-built version better than any of the store-bought models I've seen. That looks really good.
