springs for deepco clutch

[rnrphoto98]

Is there a place to get replacement springs for the Deepco Maxamatic clutch? One of the ball bearings inside was stuck, I tried to lift up one of the little plates to let it slide inside to open the clutch and the spring just broke off.

If I cant find replacement springs does anyone here have a Deepco for sale??

Thanks

Would it hurt to use it with only 3 springs?? I really want to use the deepco clutch for the downhill breaking effect.

Would a comet 500 clutch be close to the original deepco? From what I read they seem very similar.
