I recently got some parts from Angela's.
http://angela.com/
International shipping rates are very high however and shipping is with USPS (at least to Canada) which, in my case, was very slow and inefficient (the goods were shipped from East Coast Maryland but for some reason went for a visit to Chicago before coming back to the East Coast!)

You can find a spring at Darren Riley's site. I've done two orders thru him, and he's been great to deal with.

If you just need a spring, though, eBay might be the cheapest for shipping.

I found some on eBay for about £1 each, it's always worth a look

This is where the one sitting in my Bigsby came from... You might want to check that's the 1 inch though!
