Default New Toy: 1905 Colt .45

I recently purchased this from a member of my gun club. I have replaced a few damaged internal parts and purchased a spare extractor and firing pin from Numrich. I tried it out last weekend with some very light loads (200 gr. plated RN / 3.5 gr. Red Dot) and it performed perfectly. I would like to replace the recoil spring but I have not found a source. It occurred to me that a 1911 spring might work. The recoil spring is 6" long, outside diameter .420, inside diameter .344. Can anyone provide the dimensions of a 1911 spring?
