Default Spring repair?

The clock spring on my M head was broken in 2 places and I couldn't
find a replacement. I used a bandsaw blade welder to fix it and it

Surprisingly, the spring on this 20" Rockwell drill press is wider and
heavier than the return spring on my 2J head - at least I don't
remember the spring on my Bridgeport being this large.
