Push Button Fuel Door Release

I need.. I took the Push Button Fuel Door Release off my 06 Roadglide when I traded it in. I was planning on using it on my 09 but they changed the spring that pops the door open. Has anybody got one left over that they want to get rid of? I hate to shell out $27 for a new one and the dealer says the spring by itself is $21.
Thanks

I used my old one from my 04 on the 08 and used my own spring, came from vette here on the forum. Works good

Ace hardware has hundreds of coil springs. Good bet they have what you need, for about 2 dollars.

How did you attach the spring, did you glue it? Does he sell them?
Thanks

A screw with a washer placed through the bottom coil of the spring. Drill a small hole and use a self tapping screw. He doesn't sell them, just get a small but sturdy spring from a hardware store.
