Sourcing small springs (for SDS chuck)

[mart]

I am working on my SDS chuck. I need some springs for the mechanism. The drill is a decent machine that has provided good service, and was still going strong until I damaged something inside the chuck. It is a 240v pneumatic action 500watt hammer drill, made in Germany. It was originally bought from Wicks with their name on it, and I “think” it was made by “Skill” (at least that is who made the jigsaw that I bought from Wicks with the same colour coding).

I want to buy a box selection of springs of various sizes. The only box I have seen is on the screwfix site, and they all look too large. Can anyone suggest some place online or anywhere else that can supply what I need. Thanks.

Thought that Bearingboys had ceased trading?
Anyway why not try talking to Wickes, doubt if they hold parts but if you get the right person you may find out where they sourced the drill from.
If they have a Facebook or Twitter account they possibly monitor them so a post there may get noticed.

The pair of springs that came out of the chuck are about 3.5mm dia, by about 25-30mm long (compression type)
