Sniff sniff, sniff sniff - do I smell a want for an aftermarket replacement spring kit? I know that they make old TM's feel like new again. Just a thought

Ask a local gun doc/pistol tinkerer (I have a spare, but don't want to ship it out to you, lol), or buy a new spring kit.

I feel your pain on loosing springs - I found nearly a dozen springs and screws and pins when I moved residence rooms recently. It generally takes me 2-3 months to recover lost springs that disappeared onto my floor - so, screw searching and go get yourself a new one!

If i can give you a good advice that has at least helped me quite a bit for not losing springs and small parts :

Magnets. Those small ones that go on the fridge. put all your small springs/parts on one until reassembly. sounds basic, but does wonders.
