What spring for middle bogie of Tomix EF locos?

[Sinus]

Hi,

 

Some time ago I lost spring of middle bogie in my Tomix EF210. I believe all EFs use the same spring. Any idea if there is such part in Tomix offering and where to get it? Couldn't find it anywhere. Here is some photo of the spring from my other EF loco.

 

 

Thanks,

Could you take that one to a hardware/DIY store and find a similar one?  Tomix will want 1000 yen.

If I found such a shop I would buy it. Springs from tomix are not that expensive. My question is about part number if such exists.

I looked through both pdfs linked here: http://www.tomytec.co.jp/tomix/menu/index_prt.htm .  Unfortunately I don't see anything for the spring itself, nor do I see a part number for the entire bogie (prototype model FD8).  They do have the end bogies, type FD7, part 0596, but I think this is different.

Thanks, that is what I was afaid of. Anyway, I find the link very useful - was not aware of it before.
