Snider Enfield Barrel Band Spring

I am looking for a spring for the middle barrel band on a Snider Enfield. I assume that it will be the same as an equivalent spring for an Enfield 1853. Does anyone have one or know where I can get one?

I mean the spring that retains the barrel band. Peter Dyson was the first place I checked but annoyingly they don't sell the barrel band springs.

I didn't check the link you sent because I called Peter Dyson before messaging on this forum and he informed me that neither of the two-barrel band springs he sells on his website would work in a Snider or Enfield 53.
