Help a newbie - joystick question

I'm looking for source for stiffer springs for a Wico joystick.
I've checked the usual suspects (realbobroberts, happs, betson, etc.) and cant find a specific listing for joystick springs.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Which Wicos do you have?
The older Wico sticks all used rubber grommets.

They are a spring return version. I guess the're not quite old enough to use grommets. The description I got from my source was "Wico Competion"
They're microswitch sticks, although the assembly instructions reference parts for leaf switches as well.
