Brake pedal return spring

I'm not sure when or where I lost my brake pedal return spring for my kz750 e3, but I have an assortment of springs and one may work. Does anyone have one handy they can measure and take a pic of for me? If you have to remove it from your bike, it will probably be more work than it's worth. I just want to try to narrow down the possibilities out of the spring assortment I have.

Thanks,

So I ended up finding a good candidate in the bunch...it's about 2.5 inches long (from loop to loop. I did have to cut a piece of one of the loops off with some bolt cutters so I could hook it on the pedal lever, and then stretched it to fit over the bar on the foot peg mount. I will post a pic or two sometime soon in case anyone else needs to do the same :)

Here is the pic I promised. I couldn't get a good one of the spring installed, but it works just fine in case you need an easy fix.
