Default Sunvisor Spring

Does anyone know the size of the sunvisor compression spring? Its about 3/4 in by 1 inch, but I don't know the thickness. I have everything else, and I'm not going to pay $29.99 plus shipping when I can get one for $2 at Ace Hardware if I know the size. Thanks

You could also remove the one from the other visor and take that along for a comparable.
