Replacement spring on cables

[Olds Guy]

Mine are really rusty - what is a good source for these?

Thanks - Jeff

If it's a cosmetic only issue, why don't you sand-down the spring (maybe a wire brush to get further inside the coils, or some naval jelly) & use some good rattle-can paint, Krylon or Rust-Oleum on the spring, and consider maybe throwing a length of heat-shrink tubing over it? Boat supply houses have it in larger diameters, and colors.

Spring on the brake lines? The early bike has them but the later did not. If you upgrade to braided stainless you don't have to worry about that either.
