I got springs for mine by just buying a Lewmar service kit. The pawls are identical; not 100% sure but that is one gift Barient gave the sailing world (besides the first US patent on the ST winch), is standardized springs and pawls. Now, there is a difference among springs - You will notice that on the Barient pawl spring one of the legs is bent, so they are asymmetrical and are supposed to be installed with the bent leg against the pawl (I think).... Harken and Lewmar pawl springs are symmetrical, no bent leg and install either way. Well I looked up on ye ol' interwebs that one specific part number of Lewmar replacement pawl springs are supposed to be the bent-leg springs for use in Barient winches, they are available on Defender (the kit says out right that it works to service Barient winches). I found that exact part number on the shelf at my local West Marine but the springs were most definitely symmetric, no bent leg what so ever. I pointed that out to the Rigger/Tech and I got a Deer in the headlights look... I said screw it and I bought the full winch service kit that came with the synthetic grease, pawl oil, a brush, a set of pawls and a few pawl springs... Dry fit and tested them and found no functional difference. If anything, the symmetrical pawl spring holds the spring apex eye slightly farther away from the pawl body which under compression makes the spring rate a bit higher. Being as tiny as they are I doubt it makes any significant difference.
