Springs on rear LT1 calipers?

On the LT1 rear brake calipers there's supposed to be a spring to release the pressure from the parking brake cables. I bought a set used and they didn't have the springs and of course I didn't find out until I tried to release the parking brake and the handle went down but the cables didn't release all the pressure . Found some pictures online with a spring that I don't have, so does anyone know where this can be bought separately?

Aside from the classifieds, I'd try Ed Miller. He usually has an excess of parts.
When you've located the springs, the following link may be helpful:
