Sprite-broken rear spring #1

I just found a broken leaf on one of the rear springs on my '68 Sprite. I don't think the 3.4 caused the problem.I would not mind replacing just that leaf,but I have no source for just one leaf. If I replace the entire spring,I would do both sides at once and all I have found so far is springs from Victoria British. Anyone have experience with their springs? Any feedback is appreciated.

if the springs on your sprite are the same as on a midget, you could probably find someone parting one out on craigslist or ebay. In fact, if you posted a WTB (wanted to buy) in the trader section here you'd probably have a line on some within a few hours.

I have a used spring assembly laying around if you are interested?

Thanks Tim,rather than shipping the entire spring,I would be interested in buying the one that is broken as it is one of the short ones and would be much easier to ship.
