Where do you find replacement springs?

I have Cuisinart's Grind & Brew machine and it has an identical drip plug assembly. I measured carefully with a caliper and arrived at this spring size: 12 mm OD, 0.5 mm wire diameter, 30 mm free length. https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-0-5mmx12mm...

My basket holder has thrown off the clear plastic retainer ring; is there a replacement part I can purchase?

When the basket holder came apart - the clear plasted retainer ring came off of mine, also. Can you just purchase this piece?
