Hi Sixbysix,
Although their website does not list CCKW parts per se, I have had very good luck finding several hard to find parts from these guys. You just need to email them a request. The are located in the Netherlands.

Also, have had very good luck with Rex Ward in the UK:

If you know the dimensions of the springs, you may be able to find a suitable replacement from McMaster Carr:

I believe the TM gives the overall length and spring rate. Not sure about the diameter, but that should be easy to measure.
Lastly, gun shows are sometimes a good place to find various springs. I once needed the spring for the release handle in the hand brake. I happened to be going to a show that weekend, and poked through a bunch of parts on a table. I found one the exact size. The vendor I bought it from (who thought I must be working on an old rifle) was pretty amused when I told him that it was going into a 2-1/2 ton truck...
Best Regards....
