Unless you can get another used switch assembly, I don't think you can get the spring as a separate part. You may attempt a repair of yours by taking a stiff spring from a ball point pen and cutting a section off to install in your broken switch. You only need a few coils.

If you do a search for “tiny tapered spring” a few options pop up.

Great idea!
this site might have what the OP needs:

That supplier looks like it would be worth saving.  If you do buy from this seller, can you let us know which one you pick and how it works out. I have the same switches on my LeMans without any issue but it would be worth having a couple of those springs for a just in case.
