Compur Rapid Cocking Lever

Hi

Does anybody have experience in building your own springs for shutters? I am fixing a Compur Rapid shutter. The cocking lever is missing a tiny spring on the back. It's not the spring that pulls the leaver back, but this hair-thin spring that rotates a palet towards the centre, such that, when loading the shutter, the blads don't open, but when releasing they do.

I understand that getting that spring from another shutter might be the easiest way. But this piece seems self-buildable. Any help is much apreciated.

Thanks a lot

Thanks Dan and retina_restoration for your answers. It's for a Super Ikonta 532/16. From the serial number of the shutter, I deduce that it was built in 1937. The speed settings are: B, 1, 2, ..., 400. It carries a Carl Zeiss Jena, Tessar 1:2,8 f=8cm lens.
