Spring for a rear Remington 14 wheel sight question

First post here. I tried to post an image of the sight but I guess I need permission. Anyway, my question is about the spring that seems to always be missing on the underside of these.
I thought maybe I could bend one of my own.
Does anyone have dimensions and/or pictures of what this spring looks like. I have a sight and wheel but no spring. Thank you.
It looks like the one on this sold GB item https://www.gunbroker.com/item/888393569

I added a picture
Remington Thumbwheel # 117 1/2, and it's a tiny flat V spring. Good luck finding one! Brownells has a plastic box spring assortment, might get lucky and find something close enough.
I believe it is just a tension spring for the wheel so should be easy to make new one, ask a smith to make one for you.
Hey thanks guys! "tension spring" is a great search word I shall use.
there is a seller on ebay that makes sight parts, I have known him long time. check for seller win6798 and ask him his name is joe and he used to be on this site many moons ago, tell him pip5255 sent you to him.
Thank you. I will look him up.
I wrote to hum and dropped your name. I will follow up at some point. I don't get on here often.
